Nor-Shipping now has a fully fledged social media platform.
Nor-Shipping now has a fully-fledged social media platform that interconnects a website (www.nextgenerationshipping.com) with a LinkedIn discussion group and a dedicated YouTube channel. The website aims to become the place to hear the latest maritime “What’s next” ideas and innovations from industry peers.
The new social media platform was used to ramp up to the 2011 Nor-Shipping Conferences, with daily stories focusing on the Nor-Shipping theme of “What’s next?” It also gave conference participants and attending media a non-stop Twitter stream during the events, helping boost the overall buzz. The Twitter stream (@norshipping) is still gaining new followers every day.
Conference hot topics
The website at www.nextgenerationshipping.com is now being used to continue the debate of Nor-Shipping conference hot topics. Individual hot topics will be open for wider debate by the Nor-Shipping community in the Next Generation discussion group on LinkedIn.
Video footage of conference keynotes and panel debates has also proven to be popular. Edited conference sessions and speaker’s notes – along with related films by industry players – are available on the Nor-Shipping YouTube channel.
