Facebook and Twitter to play pivotal communications role at 2012 Expo

Excitement continues to build over the upcoming arrival of the 2012 Halloween & Party Expo on January 28 – 31, in Houston, Texas. With only six weeks left, news, updates and details are all rapidly developing, and show management wants to help keep all registered buyers and exhibitors, as well as prospective attendees, up to date with the latest information.

If you haven’t already, "Like" us on Facebook and "Follow" us on Twitter. In addition to disseminating important and interesting information through these outlets before the show, we will also utilize them during the Expo itself to keep all attendees aware of what’s going on when and where. Large plasma screens will be placed along the main aisle of the George R. Brown Convention Center with displays that will include Facebook and Twitter feeds.

As these social networks create instantaneous and open interaction between all involved parties, attendees will have a direct line of communication with show management, as well as with fellow attendees. So join in: Ask questions, share your favorite area, or tweet your plans. Be a part of the buzzing conversation around the Halloween & Party Expo!
