When I attended the Blogs, the Conversation conference at the UPM (Technical University of Madrid) last year, I’d already been hearing about Twitter for a while, above all from my friend Pedro Sanchez Pernia, ex-country manager of Viadeo.
Shortly afterwards I plucked up the courage to create my account, and the first people I followed were Ildefonso Mayorgas, Oscar Cumi, Emilio Marquez, Iniciador and Cava & Twitts.
What I’m clear about is that I use Twitter 100% professionally, and going to this superb event with my colleague María helped me with that.
An event that, like cava, is fresh and already essential for every good networker.
Here is the introduction to the event, organised by:
Marc Cortés @marccortes
Xavi Güell @guell
Angel Custodio @ancude
Antonio Guerrero @aguerrero
Do you know what Twitter is? Come and share it.
Don’t know what Twitter is? Come and we’ll explain it to you.
Cava&Twitts is a monthly get-together where we want to show both current Twitter users and those who aren’t yet what Twitter is, what it’s for and who is using it.
Why this name? Starting from Twitter, we want to bring together two activities:
- Twitt: talking about a specific topic related to this communication tool, spreading knowledge of it and its use…
- Cava: … and helping people who use Twitter and people who don’t to get to know each other and share experiences, interests… and whatever else comes up over a glass of cava.
Each get-together will be devoted to a Twitter-related topic, which will help us explain and better understand what this tool is and what it’s for.
We’ll let both people who use Twitter and people who don’t talk about the topic, inviting relevant people who are directly connected with the content of each event, even if they aren’t Twitter users.
Our aim is to strengthen the community of Twitter users, building relationships between them, and to expand it by spreading the word about its uses and possibilities.
Their pulling power is simply impressive: most of the time they draw more than 200 people, the event is recorded on video so you can watch it, and of course it’s also followed live on Twitter so you can send in questions.
Congratulations to the Cava and Twitts team, you’re setting the standard!!
