With two days already under their belts, many attendees were still going strong on day three:

For some, day 3 of #AHA16 began with either a breakfast meeting or a session. The annual networking breakfast of the AHA Committee on Women’s Historians was particularly well-attended:

Breakfast for committee on women historians biggest attendance ever #aha16

Great to see so many historians at @KaliGrossPhD's talk for the breakfast meeting of the Committee on Women's Historians. #aha16 #wmnhist

Morning sessions on podcasts and learning history through avatars proved especially popular among twitterstorians:

Using avatars in a history course: students have a stake in the course, develop research skills, historical complexity, inquiry #aha16 #s164

@historyfellow on best advice for starting podcast: relentless self-criticism. Good takes are few and far between. #aha16 #twitterstorians

— Chris Parkes (@Parkesland) January 9, 2016

There were also morning sessions on rewriting revolutions:

Looking for a non-prof/TT job as a historian isn't necessarily just a result of a tough job market #aha16 #notjustabackup

The opening of the poster sessions in the Exhibit Hall was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the day:

Day 3 also featured a lot of productive discussions on tuning and meeting the needs of K-12 teachers and two-year university faculty:

The K-12 Teacher's Workshop, "Teaching the Long Civil Rights Movement" will begin in an hour. Hope to see you there #aha16 #teachinghistory

The impression that transfer students are not prepared for success is not supported by the data #aha16 #s185

— Laura Dull (@ProfLauraDull) January 9, 2016

We're all agreeing that 2 & 4 yr faculty need to meet, but logistics & funding are roadblocks #aha16 #s185

— Laura Dull (@ProfLauraDull) January 9, 2016

Some historians took time off from attending sessions to explore Atlanta:

A session on guidelines for evaluating digital scholarship:

Peer review is necessary for digital history, but what form does that take: open, blind, pre or post publication. #aha16

— Bob Clark (@Hydeclark) January 9, 2016

And a session where historians with ideas for digital projects could drop in and get hands-on advice:
