Tips
- Credit every speaker by name and handle. They often reshare recaps that quote them accurately.
- Publish within three days while the conference hashtag is still active.
- Include one takeaway that came from a hallway conversation; those are often the most original.
- If you spoke, link your slides in the recap so attendees can find them later.

What should a conference recap include?
Your top takeaways, the talks worth watching, credit to speakers and organizers, and a link to slides or recordings. Photos help but are optional.
Can an agent write my conference recap from notes?
Yes. Give an agent your notes and the schedule, and it can fill this template and submit it to SocialHandoff; you approve it after checking every quote and speaker handle.
