Twittering from Imagine the Possibilities

This weekend, the Imagine the Possibilities conference will take place in Saint John, NB.

Imagine the Possibilities will bring together up to 125 officials from Greater Saint John, who will chat, brainstorm and drum up ways to encourage regional co-operation and make the area better.

Much of the eagerness stems from the first Imagine the Possibilities conference held 10 years ago at the Imperial Theatre. That version also brought together officials from the area’s five municipalities – Saint John, St. Martins, Grand Bay-Westfield, Rothesay and Quispamsis. The mix included politicians, industry association leaders and representatives from non-profit organizations.

On Saturday, participants will gather at Centre Communautaire Samuel de Champlain in Millidgeville for an all-day session in which participants will be asked to brainstorm. Enterprise Saint John spokeswoman Christine Comeau says the format will be a little different than most consulting sessions, with participants having more control over the topics and discussions.

There’s a bonus for people who wanted to attend the Saturday sessions but couldn’t: they’ll be able to get updates by using Twitter, the social networking and micro-blogging website. The “tweets” can be found at http://twitter.com/ImagineSJ and the hashtag is: #ImagineSJ

I was invited to attend the conference, and I was asked to “Tweet” from the event on Saturday!

That means, even if you are not able to make it, you can still follow what is happening from the session.

Follow our Twitter account @ImagineSJ, or search for #ImagineSJ to follow the conversations!

It’s my first time trying this out; but, I will do my best to keep you informed!
