New Hashtag: #ASHThrowback
Share memories from your favorite ASH annual meeting experiences in the #ASHThrowback Thursday photo challenge. From fun group photos with colleagues to artistic shots of award-winning presenters, Thursdays are an opportunity to share and explore memories of favorite annual meeting moments from over the years.
Hashing Out Hashtags
Hashtags allow your audience to quickly identify the topic of a social media post and help other interested users join in on or follow the conversation. Even those who don’t follow you can still find your post if they search for the hashtag you use.
The official annual meeting hashtag is #ASH24. Include this hashtag in all your posts so that meeting participants can join the conversation!
A wide variety of disease- and topic-specific hashtags (listed above) can be helpful for joining conversations you are interested in and engaging colleagues with similar interests — at the meeting and year-round. For example, be sure to use #ASHDEI to spark a dialogue with fellow attendees after attending the innovative Health Equity Studio, or include #ClassicalHeme when posting about any classical hematology sessions!
Featured Annual Meeting Hashtags
This year, ASH is featuring four meeting-specific hashtags. When using these hashtags in your annual meeting posts, you might be featured on the #ASH24 social media walls in San Diego — and may even end up on our social media leaderboard! Each day, ASH will rank the top 10 hashtag users who include one of these four hashtags in their posts. The leaderboard will reset each day at midnight, so you will have plenty of chances to make your way to the top.
Be sure to follow each of the hashtags below before #ASH24 to catch all the pre-meeting excitement!
#ASH24
This is the official hashtag representing the 66th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition. Follow #ASH24 on your preferred social media platform and join the conversation! Explore the science at the meeting and enjoy fun opportunities to interact and network with your friends and colleagues.
