So you are at MMS and feel the buzz but how do you meet with your peers and get the latest updates and scoops about sessions.
Well by tapping into the never sleeping social media communication channel.
MyITForum is putting together again the MMS twitter army.
This is basically a dedicated twitter fanatics group of attendees who keep track of the event and send out all info to the world. There’s no need to subscribe or register just check the twitter army info session in the Venetian Ballroom 1 on monday at 9:30AM to 10:30AM to join in.
All the different hash tags will be explained as also the prize draw (yep there’s even a prize for twitter folks in there).
Apart from the prizes everyone receives the twitter army badge and becomes a real twitter soldier.

Hint: For people from outside of US the roaming costs can get pretty high (=personal experience). There’s however wireless in the entire convention center which is free to use for attendees. So make sure to switch off roaming on your data connection and use wireless while you’re in the conference center.
