Figure 1. List of 25 node categories (excluding the final “unclear” category).

Figure 2. Conference network metrics, by hashtag.

Figure 3. Multi-year conference network metrics. Possible nodes = the total number of nodes that could be in the combined network if no node attended more than one year. Possible edges = the total number of edges that could be in the combined network if no edges recurred in more than one year. Nodes = actual number of nodes in the combined network. Edges = actual number of edges in the combined network. Percent nodes = nodes / possible nodes. Percent edges = edges / possible edges.
