The South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Festival is a leading event for emerging technologies. Scheduled March 7-11 in Austin, Texas, the 2008 Festival provides practical know-to information as well as unparalleled career inspiration, bringing together some of emerging technology’s most creative thinkers and digital innovators from all walks of life.
The event features five days of keynote speeches, more than 120 panels, the SXSW Web Awards, the iF! Trade Show & Exhibition, the ScreenBurn Arcade, and dozens of exciting evening events. Panels focus on how technology can facilitate new ideas, new communication, and new creativity, in addition to addressing hard-core technical issues.
In August the SXSW 2008 season was kicked off with the launch of the “Panel Picker”. It’s a simple web-based tool that allows the community to review submitted panel ideas, and then rate which panels they would be most interested in attending. Although the voting mechanism has been disabled on September 21, the interface is still fully functional for browsing the submissions and reading the comments. A preliminary schedule of the 2008 panel program will be announced in late October ‘07.
