Conference Hashtag #MLANet17

Are you ready to Tweet about the upcoming conference in Seattle?  Want to search for information or use Twitter to share and plan for the conference? Start adding the official hashtag #MLANet17 to related Tweets now to help build excitement and interest in the conference.  Look for more conference information on the Twitter feed as we get closer to conference time!

A few hashtag notes and a little history...

Don't forget, no extra spaces or punctuation in the hashtag!

Hashtags can be inserted anywhere, leading, following or  included as a word within the sentence (e.g. "It is #sunny today").

The first # was used on Twitter in 2007, and while the official adoption by Twitter was slow, users began using the hashtag to identify messages and the practice skyrocketed.  By 2009 hashtags were hyperlinked, searching became easier and the idea of "Trending Topics" appeared in 2010.

Think we can make #MLANet17 a trending topic?
