TCT Show in Tweets

Editor Daniel O'Connor has scrolled through thousands of tweets to get a little snippet of how TCT Show + Personalize 2016 went down.

At one stage during TCT show I thought my phone was stuck on some kind of vibrate cycle, it was whilst I was chairing the afternoon’s sessions too so I couldn’t take the phone out of my pocket to see what the problem was. It turned out it wasn’t a Samsung Note about to explode in my pocket but the TCT twitter account going notification nuts. 

Here’s how TCT Show 2016 unfolded told through the medium of tweets:
