\u00a0There is one thing PRSSA National members are famous for — their epic<\/em> social media skills. Conference is a great time to get in touch with other members and bring information back to your Chapter to share best practices.<\/p>\n There is one other thing PRSSA members are known for: coining hashtags on Twitter. Here are a few hashtags you can use to keep in the conversation:<\/p>\n 1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0#PRSSA: <\/span><\/strong>Members across the nation, on Twitter, are connected by this hashtag. To save time, save the hashtag on your phone.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n 2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0#PRSSANC: <\/span><\/strong>Each PRSSA National event has a designated hashtag. This hashtag is comprised of notes, quotes, opinions, guest speaker information, touring tips and a place to ask any questions you have during the duration of your stay at San Francisco. It could also include out-of-session things like amazing sites you see or funny things your roommates say. Remember, you do not want to be found guilty of slander and balance is the key to everything.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n 3)<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0#PRSAICON: <\/span><\/strong>This hashtag is used for the PRSA International Conference that occurs simultaneously with #PRSSANC.
