Social Media at Conference 

Social Media at Conference 
 
 
The Communications department will be using a number of social media and video platforms at Conference this year. 
 
HASHTAG
 
The hashtag to use with all posts, across all platforms will be #CWU17 – please use this when posting, particularly on twitter as we’ll be sharing the best of your messages on the big screen in the main General Conference hall.

VIDEOS
 
We will be bringing our in-house video equipment to Conference this year. Daily round-ups will be filmed by the communications department, covering the highlights of the day, comments from senior officials and views from some of our newer delegates. Don’t be shy in approaching the team if you have an idea to share.
 
STREAMING
 
As with last year General Conference and our evening event on 25th April will both be streamed live on cwu.org – we would encourage Branches to share this information with members to improve engagement between our Conference and frontline members. 
 
PEOPLE’S POLITICS
 
We now have over 2,000 attendees confirmed for our big event at Conference. Details of formalities and arrangements for branches will be shared by the General Secretaries Department nearer the time. We would ask that you continue to assist us with the promotion of the event (particularly those branches on and around the South Coast) using the link below. Remember – branches do not need to book tickets. This link is merely for the public.
