Posting: The Twitter birds were flying fast with Tweets!

Last week, the Bermuda Sun and the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce hosted the island’s first ever social media summit.

It was held at the Chamber of Commerce and HSBC Harbourview room. Topics included how to turn your fans into customers, how to win at social media, social media in live events and social media for tourism.

The sessions were held last Thursday and Friday and attendees walked away with a wealth of knowledge.

Overseas speakers included Joe Romenelli of Romenelli Communications and Jackie Guzman of Tilson PR. Morgan Dewan and John Kim of Turner Broadcasting and PGA.com tuned in via Skype.

The fun thing about the summit was how tuned in everyone was on social media during the sessions.

I have never been to a forum/conference where everyone was on their phone, tablet, or laptop for the majority of the talks, including some of the speakers.

It was hilarious but awesome at the same time. It was a social media summit after all.

Here are some of the awesome tweets that were sent out during the summit under the #SoMeBDA
