242 Figure 1Abstract 242 Table 1Conclusion‘#goASCO20’, a unique Gynaecological Oncology hashtag was created to disseminate Gynaecological Oncology information from ASCO 2020 virtual event. #goASCO20 was one of several gynaecological oncology hashtags used. Each of these were used by relatively small groups of individuals. Discussions were fragmented resulting in an overall lower profile for Gynaecological Oncology related tweets compared to general tweeting during ASCO 2020. The use of Twitter in academia is increasing. Its use during such conferences facilitates the spread of clinical knowledge;arguably more than any other academic platform. Gynaecological oncology tweeting needs coordination and agreement on a common hashtag to organise content at virtual events and between meetings.DisclosuresEsra Bilir: Member of Communication and Social Media Committee at The European Network of Young Gynae Oncologists (ENYGO) since May 2020.Christina Uwins: Nothing to declareGraham Mackenzie: Nothing to declare.Ílker Selçuk: European Network of Young Gynae-Oncologists (ENYGO) Executive Group Member (2017–2021) (ENYGO Social Media Committee Chair)Geetu Bhandoria: Nothing to declare
