Prior to the walk, I gave photo tips to attendees using the MPB2B App. Then, prior to each walk, I gave a brief review of photo taking tips.
We had one walk at midday, and the second, first thing in the morning.
These walks are a great way to casually meet other conference goers who share an interest in photography, or who just want to walk around with a bunch of photographers.
We had all levels of photographers on the walks. The majority were wither using photographers in social media posts, or shooting photos for fun.
HASHTAGS
Do you use hashtags?
Prior to the walk, I monitored the #NationalHarbor hashtag on Instagram to get a feeling fpr popular photo stops. This was in valuable for me to make sure our walks hit all the highlights.
I suggested the use of these hashtags for our walks:
- #MPB2B , the conference hashtag
- #MPB2BPhotoWalk, a hashtag specific to our walk
- NationalHarbor, the hashtag manhy people use for the area
Here are the TOP INSTAGRAM POSTS using the #MPB2BPhotoWalk hashtag:
Looking at the MOST RECENT POSTS using the #MPB2BPhotoWalk hashtag you can see some photographers followed my suggestion to make a mosaic using letters to spell something.
GET SEEN
One thing I like to do when traveling is to get the attention of venue I am visiting. Here, the @NationalHarbor Instagram account shared one of my photos.
We have a lot of fun on these photo walks. Hope to see you at the next one in San Francisco at the Marketing Profs B2B Forum 2020.
