Obtained access to ACL Social Media Accounts (X, Facebook, Mastodon, BlueSky) and using the ACL Group on LinkedIn (anyone can post)

  • Coordinated with ACL Publicity Director (Sarvnaz Karimi) for messages to the membership via email, corpora list and the ACL Web Portal
  • Instructed all Chairs about procedures for passing on social media posting requests, and asked for posting requests in different phases: early, pre-, during and after conference
  • Main distribution focus was in that order: X, LinkedIn, BlueSky, Mastodon, FaceBook. After some time we restricted posting to X, LinkedIn and BlueSky.
  • Publicized posts on D&I, recruiting volunteers, accommodation information, visas, program points (tutorials, keynotes, events, etc.)
  • Live-tweeting at the conference: at the the time of writing we are negotiating about double-recruiting volunteers that have been assigned tasks during talks, to post overviews and conclusions from sessions.

Issues:

  • complications by need to coordinate with people responsible for sending emails to the membership (requires personal contact)
  • we gave preference to social media accounts rather than serving many specialized / national mailing lists (unclear distribution bandwidth)
  • at the time of writing this report, live-tweeting at the conference seems to be understaffed in volunteers
