SXSW 2010 – “Interactif”
I may have not qualified to sing “Cowboys From Hell” at this year’s Cogaoke, but nevertheless, I’ll be attending this year’s South by Southwes (SXSW) conference in Austin, TX (US).
SXSW is film, it’s interactive computing innovation/extravaganza, it’s loads of live music all across the city –it’s perhaps the hottest, most happening place to be from the 12th to the 21st of March. I’m really glad that me and many, *many* other workmates are being sent by Pearson Education to learn, discover and get inspired by this experience.
We are only going for the interactive part of the event, which in itself it’s more than worth the trip to Austin. I would love to stay longer –especially for the music. Then again, SXSW Interactive won’t be lacking tunes: there’s always “open karaoke” for some of us to go see sing!
I’ll be using the power of the my little blue bird to document most of the various events and sessions I will be attending, along with a few “recaps” right here on this site.
(It’s only appropriate to use Twitter at SXSW, after all, it was there where Twitter had it’s “tipping point“)
If you’re not familiar with what SXSW is, please visit the SXSW official web site or the always reliable Wikipedia entry (citation needed).
This is one of those *things* I promised myself I would have to live at some point in my life (like Coachella, China, or Skydiving), so I’m rather excited about it!
Now, if only I liked BBQ…
