Loved meeting Twitter friends like @NatashaVianna at YTH Live
Here’s a look back at things I enjoyed at YTH Live.
Welcome Video
My YTH colleague, Arai, and I spent created a fun Youtube video introducing YTH Live 2013 and our rebrand to our community.
Bedsider 101
I loved Christine’s talk on using commercial marketing techniques to market Bedsider.
And it didn’t hurt that I got the cutest free matching t-shirts for my boyfriend and myself!
Big data plenary and Twitter party
My favorite plenary was the one on Big Data and it was fun seeing the Tweets on the big screen.
Youth/Twitter Meetup
Over 50 youth came out for the Youth Meetup and I was so impressed by their passion and experience.
Arai (@areki09) and I (@justjken) also super fun meeting our Twitter friends in person like: @ahealthydesign, @NatashaVianna, @KateCom, @Thepostgrads, @askjennatalia and more.
[Tips for Twitter Meetups: Tweet a large photo of yourself beforehand so that you are more easily identifiable!]
Film screening of How to Survive a Plague
I’m not a documentary person at all, but I really enjoyed watching How to Survive a Plague and left the theater feeling more enlightened. Having a historical perspective to the work we all do was an amazing addition to YTH Live.

I couldn’t sleep on Monday night because I was so nervous for my Tuesday morning talk!

Social Media: the only thing in public health that we WANT to go viral (didn't catch the rest but @justjken is hilarious!) #ythlive

Thanks for all the support and positive feedback. This is why I love my Twitter community.
YTH Live was a huge success with over 500 attendees hailing from California (#1), the New York Tri-State Area (#2) and Colorado (#3). Attendees also came from far away, like the Netherlands and Cape Town, South Africa. We also had 157 students!
