Getting the Most out of Social Media Week at Mayo Clinic

Posted on October 15th, 2012 by Admin

We're excited that Social Media Week - which includes Social Media Residency, our 4th Annual Social Media Summit with Ragan Communications, and our Social Media Health Network Member Meeting - is finally here!

We start this morning with our intense Social Media Residency, and will be introducing the new crop of residents to a mobile-optimized event application that we will be using all week to make the event experience richer. It will enable them to connect and interact with each other and with speakers, view the schedule of events (Mayo Clinic tours and the various conference tracks) and share their observations with the world via Twitter.

You can connect with it even if you're not attending the event in person. Here's how:

If you are logging on from a laptop or desktop computer, easy: Just go here and then you can log in using a social network or by creating a username and password with your email address.

If you are signing in with your iPhone, iPad or other mobile device, it's also easy, but you need to make sure you have enabled cookies. Here's how you check those settings in iOS:

 

Then when you click to validate using Twitter, for example, you will need to enter your Twitter username and password:

And once you've successfully done that, you'll be able to explore the whole week's events and connect with participants:

Try it!

Let us know what you think, and if anything in the directions could be clearer.
