Going to SXSW

Comments 09 March 2009

I am very excited to be attending SXSW for the first time this year. I leave on thurs for Austin, so I am in super planning mode right now. There is so much I have to do before I leave and so much to do once I get there. I just want to make sure I don’t miss anything.

First I have to say  a BIG Thank You to my sponsors for SXSW:

FavyLets users use favy for bookmarking their favorite sites and get recommendations for new sites they’ll like.

Cognitive Match – using smart mathematics to match people and digital content.

Applied Culture – offers a variety of services in the field of Arts & Cultural Management, Administration and Marketing

Pulver.com – The home of social Communications

I have a busy schedule planned for SXSW. In addition to attending the festival,going to parties and meetups, and going to panels, I also am taping episodes of What’s it all About there, and I will be interviewed by the guys from 100 Interviews. It will be a very full 5 days.

We are still looking for more people/companies to interview for What’s it all about at SXSW. If you are interested please contact me. I hope I can meet many of my online friends offline this week and have a great experience at SXSW. I will be hanging out The Pepsico Podcast Playground, and the TechSet Blogger Lounge. So far I have these SXSW events on my calender:
