SXSW: Quick Observations
SXSW is incredible and overwelming in the amount of great people that are here and the information at the sessions. Later I will post more interesting, or at least more well thought out comments. For now, here are my first few impressions of this incredible event:
- Meeting fellow attendees is as valuable (or more) than listening to the presentations
- Presenters that value and include the voice of the audience (through Twitter/Meebo/Utterz) will be incredibly successful, those that don't, won't
- Social media is great AND becomes more powerful when you make real-world connections (post to follow to clarify/elaborate)
- Fascinating to see that the typical tradeshow booths don't work well here. What does: Bloghaus, working into the talks (props to Utterz), and the parties!
That's all for now. Much more to follow.
