Social Media Guidelines

The Migraine World Summit welcomes and encourages the use of social media by our community. Migraine is still today plagued by stigma and discrimination. The more we can unite the global community and come together as a unifying voice the more success we’ll have raising funds, making breakthroughs and enjoying a better quality of life.

Below are several tips for your social engagement about the Summit:

• Follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/MigraineWorldSummit/
• Follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/migrainesummit @MigraineSummit
  • Use the hash tag #MWS for Summit related tweets.
• Blog or tweet about the speakers and topics with a link back to MigraineWorldSummit.com.
• Engage with other attendees in a respectful, supportive and constructive way.
• Help reduce the migraine stigma and bust the most common myths. The words we use are more powerful than we think:
  • Instead of “migraineur” or “migraine sufferer,” try to use “people with migraine.” The disease is not the person.
  • Instead of “migraine headache” use “migraine” or “migraine attack.” It’s not just a headache.
• Remember, your posts are public and in many cases, perpetual.
