SGM social networking and blogging policy
The SGM encourages the discussion of its conferences via blogging and social networking tools such as Twitter and Facebook. In order to promote discussion and the exchange of information, delegates and speakers using Twitter are asked to use the hashtag #SGMnotts10.

Speakers will be made aware of this policy and have the right to ask delegates not to use social networks or blogs to disseminate the research they are presenting. In these cases, delegates are asked to refrain from discussing the relevant work in this way.

Delegates are also requested not to use blogging and social networking tools while lectures are being delivered, as this may cause annoyance to speakers and others in the audience.
