• We are looking for network members to contribute posters from their own social media research projects for the poster session and will be publishing the call for posters on the NSMNSS blog later this week. We will be asking poster contributors to also participate in our first digital debate on 23rd April (see below).

For those of you who can’t attend in person we are running several online activities and events over coming weeks which we hope you'll participate in:

• Before the conference we will be running a joint Tweetchat with @socphd which will focus on the challenges and opportunities of social media research for PhD students. This will be on 15th April time to be confirmed.

• Ethics project: We are inviting you to contribute to our review of the current ethical guidelines for social media research; please take part here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/e-ethics

•  NSMNSS in the future: We would also like to know what you would like the network to do in the future and what form you think it should take, please share your thoughts here: https://www.research.net/s/NSMNSSFuture

• We are running a One Year On Digital Debate on 23rd April 2013 to give all network members a chance to participate in the discussions arising from the conference. If you are interested in this digital event then please register here: http://nsmnssdigitaldebate.eventbrite.com/
