Social Media Coverage of WILD9

September 28,2009 by Emily Loose

WILD9

Adding to the groundbreaking nature of WILD9, The WILD Foundation, and its world-wide partners, will be using a wide array of digital and social media tools to share the World Wilderness Congress with the entire world.

In addition to live blogging and tweeting from Merida, WILD9 will have a dedicated channel on Qik, enabling delegates in attendance to stream live video from their cell phone. Similarly, WILD9 will also have a dedicated channel on USTREAM which will broadcast key sessions from speakers such as Jane Goodall, Pavan Sukhdev, and Stephen Harding, just to name a few.

Lastly, there will be a WILD9 splash page which will serve as a collection of all the live content. A live twitter feed, blog feed, daily schedule, live videos and slideshows will all be posted. For delegates in attendance and those unable to make the trip, the WILD9 LIVE page will be the best place for information during WILD9.

All the details are coming together, and we hope to have all dedicated URLs set up within the next couple weeks. Once they are ready, we will update everyone again with another blog post listing all the ways you can connect with WILD9.

In the meantime, make sure to subscribe to this blog, and follow WILD and WILD9 on Twitter so you can stay connected. And remember, it’s never to early to start using the hashtag #wild9!

Stay tuned for more information on this event and these technologies. There are only 38 days left!
