SXSW Interactive believes in democracy, so we’re humbly asking your assistance: Please help us stuff their virtual ballot box.
We have six killer topics proposed for the Interactive side of the conference:
- “Digital Strategies for Optimizing the Fan / Artist Connection” (Rajan Dev)
- “Collaboration to Solve Creative Design Problems” (Maria Giudice)
- “Extraordinary Agile Design and Development: When is Enough?” (Chris Jones)
- “Touching Stories: Designing Digital Magazines for the iPad” (Matthew Carlson)
- “‘Flocking’: Niche Social Networking Beyond the Giants” (Henrik Olsen)
- “Creative and Effective Leadership in Design Environments” (Sarah Nelson)
You can also go here to see our roster.
For SXSW’s Music Conference, Hot Studio President Rajan Dev’s panel offering, “Digital Strategies for Optimizing the Fan/Artist Connection,” couldn’t be more relevant to what’s happening in the music industry. And our friends over at TechTalk have a couple of very worthwhile proposals of their own that need your love: “Supercharge Your Personal Brand Through the Spoken Word” and “Unruly Guide for Geek Health.”
So how do you show your love? It’s easy. First, register to vote. It takes about a minute (a delightful minute at that). Second, click the “thumbs up” icon for all of these panels and – now here’s the critical part – leave a positive comment about said proposed panel. It can be anything from “Great idea! Looking forward to it!” to “You have touched pockets of my soul I didn’t know existed until I read this proposal. I weep hot tears of joy.” Something like that.
Thank you in advance for your support. There might even be beers in Austin for you in it.
