#ASTD2012 Social Media Back Channel Chat Tools

EXCITED as the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) International Conference & Exposition kicks off in Denver, Colorado this Sunday, May 6th thru Wednesday, May 9th 2012!

Over the years, it's become an AMAZING networking and educational event where I've had the good fortune to participate in-person, on-site at the Convention Center during the live event - but it's become additional FUN to participate via the social media "back channel chat" tools as well.


All sorts of ways to connect with friends and colleagues - old and new. :-)


The social media back channel is also a GREAT way to learn, discuss & digest if you can't be here.


How?


Check out these FAB tools:
