#ConnectIQ might be a bit too generic, as I think I've used that one myself, but maybe something that includes the year (maybe just 17 and not 2017 to save 2 characters) or a number (this would be 1), as whatever is picked should also work for developer conferences in the future. Unless using the same hashtag for all developer summits/conferences would make sense. (like I said, this is all new to me! :) )

Maybe a small tweak to yours Douglas: #CIQDeveloper17 ? (it's missing the Garmin piece though) so maybe #GarminCIQDev17?

(like I said, I'm not good at this kind of stuff! Maybe Garmin has an idea, as they might have though of one already...)

I sent a tweet to Nick Kral at Garmin to see if there was an official one.

Haha Douglas...no need to over exaggerate! :D;)

Heh, yeah, I was actually trying to really exaggerate with a hashtag closer to 100 characters long but that was the best I could do after only one coffee. :)

Cheers,
Douglas

Come on Jim, you missed an obvious required detail and misspelled Olathe.

You've still got 79 characters left for the rest of the message. Seems good to me.

Bonus points: pronounce Olathe correctly on the first try with no hints.

Actually I can do it Brian! There was someone from there on a TV Judge show a few months back, so I heard how it's pronounced!

Hmmm, that feels like a hint to me, but I'll let it slide. +42 imaginary internet points for Jim.

Now that I've been caffeinated, the answer is clear to me... you always need to include the obvious and repeat the name of the instrument (in this case, a hashtag) in the name. Plus you should also ensure to use as many conjunctions as possible. So, building on what Jim and Brian said:

#TheOfficialHashtagForTheGarminConnectIQDeveloperSummitHeldInOlatheKansasUSAFromApril-18-20-2017

That brings us to 95 characters, which should suffice on all levels. ;)

Would make it an even 100, which might be easier to remember! :)

It wasn't really a hint, as I knew it before you posed the question! But just in case, I'll pass on half the 42 to "Judge Judy"! :)
