Used properly, Twitter can be an amazing source of industry news, inspiration and new relationships for event organisers.

However, the key barrier to it’s being really useful, is just how much content is created each day.

There are thousands of accounts related to the events industry that you could follow on Twitter, all sharing links and tweeting their thoughts, but they’re not all created equal!  So which ones should you follow?

To help you cut through the noise and get you started, we’ve created a handy list of 71 event-related Twitter accounts worth following.

They range from London venues to US wedding planners, AV magazines to top event industry bloggers, offering a nice diversity of thinking and content for you to enjoy.

To get all their latest tweets, you can simply subscribe on Twitter by following this link.

Or, to pick through and select a few choice accounts that match your interests, here is the list in full, with handles, follower counts and profile descriptions to help you choose.  We recommend you at least start with @EventbriteUK and @Eventbrite!
