Twitter Addresses for “How to elect more women” Conference

This blogpost contains a list of  Twitter names of people speaking at the Conference. [See below]

You can add your name to the list below by posting a comment.

The Conference in Dublin Castle on Friday is now full,  ‘sold-out’…[300+ attending]. Many citizens, who can’t be there, will be keen to hear about proceedings on the day – as it happens, rather than wait for press reports.

Twitter is now more important than ever.
It enables people outside the Conference to be informed & to comment on what’s going on. Twitter helps people feel involved & to feel “ownership” of the event. Twitter helps build movements for change. [The 50:50 Group is active on Twitter]

To help those who wish to…

  • tweet from the Conference
  • tweet to Conference attendees
  • tweet comments about the Conference all over the world
  • even gather all related tweets together for publication later.
Here’s a Twitter list I put together…
