Ribbons Galore!
Back by popular demand this year you’ll once again be able to add an “I tweet” ribbon to your name badge at CHEST. We’ve also included “#CHEST2016.” We hope this will help you identify other Twitter users at CHEST who are active members on social media. Grab a ribbon at the ribbon kiosk near the Help Desk, or drop by the Press Room (room 505) to get your ribbon.
VITweep Seating
Are you an active member on Twitter and would love to live-tweet our sessions? These seats are reserved for you! Priority reserved seating will be designated within many of our most popular sessions this year at social. So get there early, claim your spot, and get to tweeting!
#CHEST2016 Picture Contest
Selfies taken at LA Live? An Instagram photo of eating your way through LA’s many restaurants? We want to see what you are up to at CHEST! And, if you use the #CHEST2016 hashtag, you could win! See our blog post for more contest information.
#CHESTGo Photo Scavenger Hunt
Get acquainted with all of the faces at CHEST and hotspots in Los Angeles! Each day we will post three scavenger items we’d like you capture. Simply catch the clues of the day and post photos of all items on Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #CHESTGo and we’ll pick our daily winners! See our contest blog for more information.
The App Is Back
We hope you’ll enjoy some of the new and improved features that the CHEST Events app has to offer. Make sure to update your profile to include your picture, brief bio, and links to all of your social networks.
Download the app on your Android, your iPhone, or access the mobile website.
