It’s hard to believe that it’s THAT time already but it is THAT time already. What time is “THAT” time you ask? Time to start voting for your favorite South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) panels.
This year, I’m in the enviable position of having several Powered colleagues have panels that made it to the next round. The only downside of having so many great submissions make it through is trying to promote everyone’s panels while NOT pissing everyone off that follows me/us. To that end, I’m trying to consolidate efforts by putting everyone’s entrees in the same place.
Below you will find the following information for each of the panels:
- The title of the proposed panel
- The first sentence of the panel abstract
- The suggested speakers
- A link to the session (SO YOU CAN VOTE FOR IT)
Just remember, you need to sign up to vote. It takes less than a minute and doesn’t cost you anything (and the folks at SXSW are very respectful of not spamming people to death).
