The White House reached out to its more than 2.7 million Twitter followers and invited them to welcome UK Prime Minister David Cameron to the White House on March 14, 2012. This “Tweetup” was one in a series of events that invite those who engage with the White House online to attend in-person events. Over 140 people participated in the Tweetup, representing 23 states, from as far away as California and Texas.
The group began their day on the sunny South Lawn, where they watched the Arrival Ceremony and tweeted updates and pictures about their experience throughout. From bilateral politics to fashion – the Tweetup attendees shared their unique perspectives in real time.
