How come there are so many going to Interactive but not staying for Music???

raines

jobs, life, etc.

paul irish

According to the sales and marketing pdf, the music festival is twice as big as the interactive.. (10,000 attendees vs 5,000)
But of course on upcoming.org, the perspective is a little different..

Oh yeah. And we're ready to get the party started:

This will be my first year attending the interactive part or any of it for that matter. I'm driving down from Dallas. Don't know a single person going so it ought to be interesting.

frodo

This is my second SXSW. I'll be there with coworkers and members of Refresh!Austin

cookiecrook

Paul, is there a way to list this as an all day event? 10 AM to 5 PM hardly covers it; plus the phone sync is dirty now. TIA.

sooz

The Interactive Playpen is back this year. Between panels come join the block party.

cookiecrook: Good point. I changed it.

The Viddler team is trying to meet as many vloggers and artists as possible. Introduce yourself beforehand and guarantee yourself a free Viddler.com t-shirt.

Anyone flying out from Newark on the 9th?

maximolly

This is my 10th! My 10th SXSW. Damn.

FrenchMaidTV

So which parties should we attend?

baroblik

It's my first time to SXSW ! I'm quite nervous ! I don't want to miss a thing, if you have any suggestions - I'll have to made hard choices I think.

imaginedesign

Well tomorrow is the day. Look forward to networking and meeting a few fellow designers / ui experts:)

nep

See y'all there. Oh, sorry, am I allowed to use that contraction without being a local?

drdrew

woot! anyone staying at the La Quinta - Oltorf? email me at [email protected]

If you, like me, pick your panels as much by speaker as by topic and have found it difficult to do that on the official sxsw.com site, check it out: a searchable schedule for SXSWi 2007.
