As a follow up to my post last week, it seems that national news is not the only thing people are Tweeting these days. I thought you might also be interested in some of the upcoming tradeshows that are embracing social media.

Even tradeshows in traditional brick and mortar industries like construction are jumping on the social media bandwagon.   On Friday, BUILDER Online let everyone know that they will be Tweeting throughout the 2009 International Builders’ Show (IBS):

“BUILDER Online will be there, posting daily from the press room to keep you informed about the latest products, news, and business strategies even if the travel budget doesn’t permit you attending in person this year.”

And they linked through to the social media seminar at IBS. Looks like an interesting seminar, incorporating social media into an industry tradeshow.

A few other publications at this week’s show that will be Tweeting live:

ebuild

EcoHome Magazine
