Social Media

We use Facebook as both a social platform and for a private group. Our Eventbrite events publish and link to Facebook, allowing for easier sharing, and we routinely push all social content to it for maximum visibility.

We have done various Facebook Live events in the past as well in order to bring attention to a topic, initiative or idea.

Some Agoras maintain their own Agora Facebook Groups or pages, which is an option available to you, just let us know the link so we can tag / share to it and add a volunteer as an admin (which prevents accounts from going stale when Agora turnover happens).

We use Twitter as a social platform and have a pretty significant following, as much of the origin of DEF is tied to communities of thinkers and writers on Twitter..

Although we have not used Periscope for live video before, it is also an option that is available.

Some Agoras maintain their own Twitter profiles, which is an option available to you, just let us know the link so we can add another volunteer as an admin (which prevents accounts from going stale).

We use Instagram as a social platform and are excited at the prospects it offers for humanizing all the people who are involved. This is one of the reasons we request photos from events so we can share them

Some Agoras maintain their own Instagram profiles, which is an option available to you, just let us know the link so we can add another volunteer as an admin (which prevents accounts from going stale).

We use LinkedIn as both a social platform and for a private group. The private group allows people to more easily identify connection requests as other DEF members.

Of note, we encourage Agora leads to add DEF to their profiles (either as a job or volunteer role) - something like "DEF Omaha Lead" would work well.

Very few Agoras maintain their own Agora LinkedIn pages, but it is an option available to you, just let us know the link so we can tag / share to it and add a volunteer as an admin (which prevents accounts from going stale when Agora turnover happens).

We use Medium as both a blog and publishing platform, giving us the flexibility to share updates about what DEF is doing while also featuring the writing and ideas of others (and tying that work to their own accounts).

Capturing short outtakes from an event allow us to easily share across all social media platforms, and you can even embed snippets from platforms like Twitter and YouTube directly into posts, and share draft posts for editing and feedback.

We have hours and hours of video from DEF events posted on YouTube. Right now, most of it is only roughly organized and we have a long way to go before it's very useful for anything other than watching previous Annual Conferences.

That said, it is a great record of content going back to the very beginning of DEF and can be a great resource for kicking-off Agora discussions and events.
