A Brief History of SXSW
Established in 1994, the South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Festival consists of four days of panel programming and keynotes, a Trade Show & Exhibition, plus a full schedule of exciting evening activities. The event brings together more than 5000 top-notch digital creatives from across the United States and around the world. These attendees share their inspirations about the future of the web, entrepreneurial opportunities, and the next wave of new technological innovation.
What You'll Read Here
Lots of stuff. Pictures, panel reviews, interview, ect. More stuff than you'll probably be able to handle. Some useful stuff too, perhaps. Remember that if you have something written up that you'd like to contribute, make sure to let me know, and I'll feature your content here and a link back to your site.
LiveTweeting
If you want super-rapid updates, I'll probably be live-tweeting the event. If you're into that sort of thing, you can follow me on Twitter @caseorganic @caseorganic. See you there, technosocially, or in real life, or both.
