Event Design

  • Event Goal: each participant takes away practical tips for improving 3Rs via social media
  • Case Studies: each tip is presented within a case study
    • Concrete cases show not only how a particular tool works and (as importantly) that it works
    • Each case study publicizes the presenter’s organization
  • Active use of social media within the presentation
    • This further concretizes the example
    • This broadens our universe of participants, both speakers and recipient
    • What shall we use? YouTube, Twitter, Facebook … and of course, this page itself
