You will be covering the talks on Twitter (and maybe other social media channels). You will be assigned to cover several talks, which you will be informed of in advance. The main task is to get to know the speaker and the topic, check the description on the WCEU site, read the slides before the talk (which will be provided to you) and most likely prepare a few tweets in advance, related to the topic. There will be a document with example tweets and speaker/company Twitter handles, prepared in advance which you can use to prepare your own tweets.
If you’re good at listening and posting on social media at the same time – this is the job for you! You will be in one of the rooms listening to the talks and posting about them in real time.
Yes! I want to apply for this role!
