#TECHDAY

Over the years we’ve used individual hashtags for each city that we’ve hosted an event.  We’ve had #NYTechDay, #NYTD, #DCTechDay, #LATechDay, #NewYorkTechDay, and #TechDayLA.  For one thing, it’s just confusing!  But more importantly, thanks to our growing community, we’re about much more than one city and or one single event.  We’ve moved on to providing valuable content and a global conversation that lives online all year round.  That’s why- starting today, we’re only going to be using #TECHDAY to tag all of our content, and we’re asking all of you to do so as well!

Since our founding in 2011, we’ve made no secret of our commitment to using social media to help us tell the TechDay story and gain attention for our events.  Starting with our very first NY TechDay, we’ve always built in a way for our attendees and startups to alert their followers about their involvement in our events and community.  If you’ve ever registered for one of our events- you’ll see that right on the confirmation email. 

For our startups, tweeting or updating on Linkedin and/or Facebook has always been a way to alert their most engaged users, hopeful new team members, investors and press who are following their story, or their frustrated family & friends who haven’t seen them in “forever” that for one day, they’re going to be on their feet and showing off to the local community- and this is their shot to connect in person.  It also means that leading up to the event, their startup is going to be a part of the online conversation that the local community will be engaged in.

For attendees, it’s always been about letting their friends know that they intend on committing their day to coming out and supporting the startup scene.  Many of our attendees do not work in tech or the startup world, and by letting their network know about our event, they’re helping those who may be interested with a possible way to get involved or take a peek at what it’s all about.

So now, no matter what city you’ve participated in an event in (or are looking forward to participating in), you can follow the global conversation at #TECHDAY.  We hope to see you there often!
