Cattle Enthusiasts ‘Tweet Up’ in Tampa
Twitter users and
friends are encouraged to attend the Angus event Feb. 6.
Each day
Twitter is flooded with #agchat, #ranchlife
and #beef topics – and that’s just the beginning. Get to know the people behind
the tweets during a “tweet-up” at the 2013 Cattle Industry Annual Convention in
Tampa, Fla.
Hosted by
the American Angus Association®, Certified Angus Beef LLC (CAB) and
Angus Productions Inc. (API), the third-annual “tweet up” is scheduled for 6 p.m.
on Wednesday, Feb. 6 at the Angus booth, #323, during the
NCBA Trade Show Welcome Reception.
“Whether
you’re an avid Twitter user or just getting started, we encourage you to come
by the booth and meet fellow ‘tweeps’ in the cattle
business,” says Jena Thompson, Association assistant director of public
relations. “It’s an open event for anyone who would like to learn more about
online communications.”
Attendees
will have a chance to meet and share more than Twitter’s 140 characters, while
in a social setting at the trade show. For more details or questions, follow
the Association, CAB and API using the following Twitter handles, respectively:
@AngusAssoc, @BlackInkBasics,
@ABBeditor and @AJeditor.
“Tweeps” following coverage of the 2013 Cattle Industry
Annual Convention and Trade Show can use the hashtag
#CIC13. More information on the 2013 Cattle
Industry Annual Convention and NCBA Trade Show can be found online.
