Going 18NTC in New Orleans?

Are you planning on attending NTEN's annual conference in New Orleans? Let me know so that I can bring you a t-shirt, buy you a beer, and invite you to join the Organizer Day training session.

Facebook

Do you have a Facebook group or page for your meetup? I want to know so that I can cross-promote your events and post them to the blog.

• Syndicate your events to the main Facebook Page by listing "NetSquared" as a co-host
• Broadcast your events using Facebook Live or Periscope

Tips for Livestreaming Your Events

Livestreaming doesn't have to be hard. Just remember:

• Avoid backlighting
• Minimize background sounds
• Plug your phone into a charger or so it doesn't lose power half way through your meetup
• Use a tripod
• Get your camera as close as possible to your speaker, and aim it head-on

I'm here to help. You can email me, schedule me for a chat, or ask your fellow organizers for tips in our Facebook or Slack groups.
