CLA Partners with Pathable for Joint Conference Social Media Platform
Attendees of this year's Joint Conference will be invited to join Pathable, an easy-to-use, on-line community and social network that will help attendees meet and communicate with each other.
Pathable integrates updates from your favorite social media platforms along with conference information and live discussion into a single, attendee-exclusive interactive portal. Furthermore, the Pathable community will allow you to maximize the networking opportunities provided at Conference, allowing you to:
- View the profiles and interests of the other attendees, exhibitors and speakers
- Search for people interested in specific topics
- Discover the sessions your Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn contacts are attending
- Get recommendations on who to meet
- Join the discussions about critical industry topics
- Schedule one-on-one meetings with other Conference attendees
Pathable offers not only greater networking capability, but an integrated source of Conference information:
- Aggregated Conference-related news feed from Twitter, Facebook, Flickr & Blogs
- Ability to build and share a personalized conference schedule
- Downloadable hand-outs and materials for sessions
- Mobile accessibility for Smartphones
This Conference-exclusive social media platform will be a free service available for attendee use before, during, and after the 2010 CLA/CSLA Joint Conference in Sacramento.
We hope you take some time prior to conference to become active in the Pathable community and use the site to be even more connected at the conference. For more information on Pathable, please visit their website at http://pathable.com/.
The CLA/CSLA Conference Pathable community is scheduled to launch in mid-August concurrent with conference registration. Stay tuned for more information!
