This summary uses data from NodeXL extracts of a number of hashtags related to Obesity Week 2019 (starting 3-6 November, adding 7 November subsequently), using methods described previously. I included the following hashtags in the NodeXL extract as there appeared to be related tweeting captured by the different terms: #ow2019 OR #obesityweek2019 OR #asmbs2019 OR #tos_ow2019. Some tweets used multiple hashtags.

The extract contains 2,214 tweets from the conference days (UTC time), posted by 456 tweeters, with 5,175 retweets. Overall 69 (15%) tweeters received 80% of retweets, while 123 (27%) tweeters received no retweets.

The tweets listed below (n=266) received at least 6 retweets by the time of the extract at the end of 6 November, or 5 retweets for the extract including 7 November. This gives:

34/288 tweets posted on 3 November
38/321 tweets posted on 4 November
76/593 tweets posted on 5 November
59/561 tweets posted on 6 November.
59/454 tweets posted on 7 November

This achieves a reasonable balance across the conference.

The summary below features 97 tweeters (21% of all the tweeters).

I have not edited this summary in any way. There may be controversial and commercial posts listed for this particular topic. Inclusion in the list does not signal my support for messages included in the tweets. However, listing these tweets will help understand the information that is being disseminated from the conference, and in response to the conference.

Note that the extract only identifies tweets that used the selected hashtags (#ow2019 OR #obesityweek2019 OR #asmbs2019 OR #tos_ow2019). It will not capture replies that did not use the hashtags.

The top 20 tweeters are listed below, providing additional detail about the hashtags used by the different tweeters.
