• Attribute when possible! For example, use a format like “[name/Twitter handle] says [statement]. #FOTH19”.
• Use the event hashtag (#FOTH19) in every tweet, update and post.
• Retweet the speakers and attendees that are also live reporting.
• Identify the twitter handles of the members of Congress you will be meeting with and use that in your tweets about your meeting. Don’t forget to share a picture!
