The 25 Best Tweets From the Forbes Under 30 Summit
Forbes Editor Randall Lane at the Under 30 Summit in Philly.
As the Forbes Under 30 Summit comes to a close and the army of smart young people heads home, we thought it would be fun to take a look back at the best tweets from the conference.
Many relayed inspiring messages from speakers like YouTube star Michelle Phan, venture capitalist Josh Kopelman, snowboarder/surfer Shaun White or CEO of Global Health Corps (and presidential daughter) Barbara Bush.
One person was really excited to see a woman wearing a robotic arm. Another couldn’t believe she was drinking beer made by the Hanson brothers (you know, of MMMBop fame.) And everyone seemed eager to get their picture taken with Dr. Ruth Westheimer. Check it out:
Fan girl moment: For those who are curious, yes Taylor Hanson is still fine 19 years after "Mmmbop" #heyboo #under30summit

I'm a huge @MichellePhan fan, but her belief that boredom is the root of depression = troubling! #under30summit pic.twitter.com/bjt9xEdRjX

Moderator at Forbes #under30summit just quoted a Janis Joplin lyric and I'm really, really positive that it's the wrong room for that.
