Tweet Up
We are delighted to announce that a Tweet Up will be held at ICD2012. This will provide an exciting opportunity to meet colleagues from across the globe that are active in social media – including those experienced in this area, as well as beginners.
The Tweet Up will be on Wednesday 5 September from 6:30pm. This will be held in conjunction with the official ICD2012 Welcome Reception which is in the Trade Exhibition Hall. The Tweet Up will be within the Kitchen Demo Area.
Please note: only ICD2012 delegates are able to attend the Welcome Reception, and therefore the Tweet Up.
