     <li style=" 0px; 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; list-style-type: circle;"><span style=" 0px; 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #000000;">Share details on a speaker you&#8217;re looking forward to hearing.</span></li>

But I always suggest your social content be at least 80% about OTHERS and at most 20% about YOU. So after 4 or 5 updates on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook about the conference or other people participating, go ahead and share something about your promotion, contest, giveaway, or trade show activity. As long as this isn&#8217;t the only thing you&#8217;re pushing out, it&#8217;s cool.</span></p>
