This will be our 2nd time at SXSW Interactive. The first time was amazing and we are looking forward to being blown away again.
Here are some of the panels, parties and events we are looking forward to… (Keep in mind geo, mobile, and good people are our primary interests). Say hi if you are around, would love to chat and meet some new people.

Lots of great events and panels. Amazingly, this is only a small sample of the events going on at SXSW. See you there.
Panels and talks are great… but for many, SXSW is all about the parties. From the official sponsored parties to the unofficial flash mobs, there are enough events each night that it can be overwhelming.
