Twitter Delivers the Full Picture of a CPA Conference

Perhaps I sound like a broken record...

But believe me, if you attend conferences and aren't on Twitter, you are missing out. Case in point: the Digital CPA Conference last week. I got to the hotel in Washington D.C. (ahem...I mean Maryland. Right, Tom Hood?), logged in to my computer and discovered Twitter was already all aflutter with #DigitalCPA activity. If you know me, you know this made me very happy!

Follow a conference hashtag for the inside scoop.

By following and participating on a conference hashtag, you get to see the full picture of what's happening. People are sharing their favorite quotes, new ideas, what they are learning and my favorite... pictures.

These aren't glossy, posed photos taken by professional photographers. These are the real deal. Attendees armed with smartphones are offering you a glimpse into their experiences. From opening remarks, to panel discussions, to a rare karaoke rendition of "Taking Care of Business," Twitter offers a behind-the-scenes look at a conference. Check out just a few of the 1,500+ tweets and pictures shared from the Digital CPA Conference.
