The floor is alive and kicking at the 2017 SGIA Expo! I’ve been taking in all the sights and sounds the first few days in New Orleans, and I am mesmerized by all the activity on the exposition floor and beyond.
And I’m not the only one awestruck by the SGIA Expo. The SGIA Expo is buzzing on social media. Three top trending topics on Twitter in New Orleans are #SGIAExpo, #Wide- Format and #Printing.
As SGIA’s Social Media Associate, it’s my job to make sure you stay connected. We love to see industry professionals engaging with us! The best hashtag to use for the 2017 SGIA Expo is #SGIAExpo. The really cool thing about using this particular hashtag is our Luster Collage Wall. If you take a picture, and post it on social media with the #SGIAExpo hashtag, we’ll include it as part of the mosaic image at the SGIA booth (Booth 2245). I can’t reveal the final image, but I think you’ll really like it. (You can also pick up a 2-inch by 2-inch copy of your pic as a keepsake.)
Getting involved in social media at the SGIA Expo isn’t just a fun way to pass the time. It’s also great exposure for your brand. Never underestimate the power of a good “tweet.” Also, depending on which community or market you work in, there’s a hashtag for that. Here’s a quick guide so you can connect at the Expo:

#PDAA - “Wrap Like a Pro” Workshop

Remember, social media is what you make of it, and it’s not just for Millennials anymore. Social media has become an increasingly important part of marketing strategies for businesses big and small. So get engaged and get going, starting here at the 2017 #SGIAExpo!
