Phase two of the #WTHR? Twitter contest is ready to go!

If you missed out on the first phase of the #WTHR? Twitter contest (or have yet to see the tactile merits of social media), Wednesday, April 13, 2011 could be your lucky day – if you make your way to Marketplace at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

The BC Human Resources Management Association is kick-starting its 49th Annual Conference (April 14 & 15) with a one-day business Marketplace at the Vancouver Convention Centre.  Featuring a special, ticketed event at 4:30 pm headlined by business analyst Michael Campbell’s live audience interview with Kevin O’Leary, the doors are open from 11:00 am to 6:30 pm.

The #WTHR? Twitter contest was conceived to spread the word on BC HRMA’s Conference 2011 and Marketplace – with thanks to all who have helped spread the word, it has. We would love a final push to spread the word: the Dragon is coming – and he’s a great guy!

Phase Two of the #WTHR? Twitter contest starts now – and this is probably the best opportunity to win an iPad 2 as you are likely to find.  Five clues will be posted to the @bchrma Twitter account, each preceded by the #WTHR tag.  Find the five clues and collect the corresponding booth numbers before setting time aside for Marketplace on Wednesday.

How does it work? Five clues, five booths, one answer to be direct messaged (DM’d) or dropped into the ballot box at the BC HRMA booth.  This time around, and to applaud those who explore HRVoice.org blogs as well as Twitter, all five clues are also being released at once in a compact format – right below these words.

#WTHR? The future is alive at Booth 205. Query Kwantlen U for a clue…

#WTHR? What’s in store at Booth 414?  One of the five clues from friends at MindMuze…

#WTHR? What’s to glean at Booth 517?  enGenic Communications offers solutions..and a clue.

#WTHR? Get on the hop to Jobshop.ca at Booth 503 to nab another piece of the puzzle.

#WTHR? Looking for the pen-Ultima-te piece of the puzzle?  Look to Booth 318 … then get ready to jumble!

Each clue is a phrase.  Keeping each phrase intact, rearrange the five to turn the jumble into a sentence. Hint: it speaks to the heart of what HR is all about.
When you solve it – and you will – just direct message (DM) us your answer.  Better yet, bring social media full circle and come drop by the BC HRMA booth.  Pen your answer on your card, drop it in the box, and let us know what social media serves you best – as HR professionals, as business leaders and students.  Potentially as the owner of an iPad 2*.

While you’re there, feel free to tap into any social media you like at our kiosk and let the world know: the HRevolution is happening.

* This is not small print, just an honest disclaimer. Actually, should you win – and yes, we would love you to reduce your odds by retweeting and spreading the word – you will actually become the owner of a receipt and promise of delivery.  You will have won an iPad 2, but right about now in Vancouver, the 2 also stands for ‘weeks delivery’.
