Spotlighting and monitoring the ideas, discussions, and debates that take place at your event is
very useful. Being able to show everyone the conversations others are having about the event
makes introductions easier, broadens conversations, and generally opens people up to more of
the content. Monitoring this conversation can also alert you to opportunities to improve an
event.
VisibleTweets.com includes stylish animations, and takes two seconds to set up. It's incredibly
useful for live event keyword showcasing. They offer three different animation options,
all of which are visually engaging and eye catching, while remaining very readable. That

exclusion options for keeping things clean and the geo-location option for keeping things
local. A single column of several tweets are displayed with text size options to fit your
needs.
