SXSW Interactive?

If you have any questions or need help with anything, let me know. I'll be more than happy to help you plan out your trip to Austin if you can make it!

 

Just a note of advice: typically if you can get everything squared off by about mid-September, you're in good shape. Prices start to go up & hotels fill up quickly after that. But... September isn't for quite a few months :P

Sadly, Austin is only a 3 hour drive, and I don't even know what SXSW is.

That does make me sad :( It also makes me sad I forgot you live in Dallas...

 

Actually, its OK. SXSW has 3 parts:

  • The most well known part - the music festival. I think it is 5 days total of music,  of well known and upcoming artists. Remember, Austin is the Live Music Capital of the World!
  • The film festival - which consists of many many film screenings. Most of which are artsy films, but still pretty cool when a big one comes in.
  • And finally, the Interactive festival - which is what I'm attending. It's the lesser known part of SXSW, and basically consists of a bunch of web geeks getting together and talking about strategy, marketing, coding, etc for websites. Google, Mozilla, W3C reps, Microsoft (is releasing IE9 tomorrow at SXSW), etc as well as popular people such as 4chan founder, Felicia Day (from the series "The Guild"), etc showed up this year to present and discuss.

 

That's just a basic overview of it. It's like the E3 convention for websites :P
