This 2020 list is not really relevant in 2024.

Hello everyone,
I have added the highlights that Lydia forwarded to us.
Feel free to coordinate with Andy regarding the graphics that you would need for the social media promotion.
I have added the task for Andy here: https://invent.kde.org/teams/akademy/-/issues/130

@dinanouskali let's go over the schedule together and make some sense of what we should especially highlight. I am also thinking we can group some stuff.

In order to evaluate the results of LAS promotion, we had to analyse the analytics of the whole month.

We posted about every session and BoF in 2020. We prepared Insights at that time and then decided not to post about every session in future years as it was not worth the effort.

In order to evaluate the results of LAS promotion, we had to analyse the analytics of the whole month. As I have already mentioned, If you check them out, you would see that we had really good numbers and results. We had also posts that took many likes and retweets.

This is great. Let me discuss this with Akademy's team.

We have a huge community in Spain (KDE Espana). Let's focus on them and see if we can bring them all to Akademy.

Hello ,

My proposal is to make posts regarding the program on Akademy’s Twitter and on the events that you have created on Facebook and Twitter for Akademy 2022 . As we have discussed many times we are not going to post everything on KDE’s social media accounts .

At LAS we had great results regarding the month (April) that we started promoting the program with posts, feel free to check out the analytics, If you have access. We were tagging the speakers and most of the speakers retweeting or sharing the posts which as a result brought more registrations but also engagement or more impressions and followers to LAS’s social media accounts . What was countable has to do with the analytics of social media. I need to ask If I am allowed to share some results of LAS here.

As i have mentioned to Aniqa I could also support you on this. I am sure we could ask more members of the team to help. I know it’s a lot of work but at this point we aim to have more registrations as the event is coming and to “make some noise “ on social media and bring more engagement.

With good cooperation and willingness I am sure we could make it work also for Akademy. Let’s discuss more details on Friday’s meeting or on a seperate meeting together. Thank you!

2. As travel support has already closed, people will not come on their own so they will not register for in-person Akademy.

That is not true. Only a small number of attendees who come in person receive travel support. If we reach them there can also be a lot of locals depending on the area

Moreover in previous Akademy's meetings we have discussed that we could have some volunteers as photographers at Akademy. It would be nice if the promo team could make a plan with what photos do we need from Akademy event for future promo. So the volunteer photographers could be more focused on what they shoot. We could create a guide for them. Feel free to let me know if you need any feedback or help on this.

Posting one or two highlights per conference day and, obviously, about the keynotes... All these are fine and we have seen positive feedback for things like this in the past. Posting about every single talk is overkill and has a the opposite effect, unfortunately.

Removed mentions of keynote3 (we only have 2) and registration closing as it doesn't, in the description

Aniqa tells me you folks would like to repeat the LAS experience of posting one tweet/toot per speaker/talk. Looking at the number of engagements these posts generated on LAS's Twitter account, it is obvious these posts were not popular and were at best ineffective, when not a waste of time and resources that delivered no payback.

There's no "announce Akademy on the dot" -- would that have fitted into the Social Media schedule? Or "announce on kde-community". I guess those are internal communications, not external Social Media things. There isn't an announcement on the dot: our usual internal news for the KDE community. https://dot.kde.org/2021/09/01/call-hosts-akademy-2022-now-officially-published is the only mention of Akademy 2022 on the dot.

It would also be good in the schedule if there were items for Talks announced and Keynotes announced?
