Print09: Tweetups – An Excuse to Go Offline & Get Some Face Time.

Tweetups are informal (most of the time), in-person gatherings of Twitter users with similar interests. The word is a mashup of the word meetup melded with the cutesy “tw” from Twitter, as is common in the Twitterverse. Since there is a sizable group of print professionals using Twitter, some companies are sponsoring tweetups during Print09. Interestingly, both tweetups are at the Hyatt bar on different days. Whether you are interested in printing, social media, marketing, networking, or to just say you attended a tweetup, you are guaranteed to find others with similar interests. At minimum, both tweetups offer an excuse to not wait in the long taxi line!

Tweetups:

1. InfoPrint is hosting a tweetup on Friday, September 11th at 5:30pm in the Hyatt McCormick Center bar.
   

   RT @InfoPrint: Don’t forget about our Tweet Up @ PRINT! We’ll be @ the Hyatt bar @ 5:30 toasting 1st day of the show. Come join us! #print09

2. Xerox and Printing News are hosting a tweetup on Monday, September 14th at 4:30 pm in the Hyatt McCormick Center bar. To RSVP to this tweetup, visit the registration page.

3. Pat McGrew is offering a tweetup at the Kodak booth (north side) after her chat in the K-Zone on Saturday, September 12th at 3:30 pm. DM @PatMcGrew on Twitter if you would like to meetup. I’m sure she would love to talk transpromo.
   

   Remember Prin09 is coming up! How about a tweetup at the #KODAK booth at 3:30 SAT after my CRAWL/Walk/RUN talk at the KZONE! DM me!

Details:

1. The Hyatt McCormick Center bar is located on level one to the right of where the taxi queue normally starts.
2. Learn all of your “tw” words at twittonary.com. I personally like “twanker.”

Note: If there are any tweetups that are not on the list, DM @mbossed, and I will add them to this post. See you at Print09!
