SxSW 2010 – The Experience

This week, I attended South by Southwest in Austin, TX for the first time. What an experience and I only saw a portion of what this conference/festival has to provide.

South by Southwest (SxSW) is an enormous conference that provides a convergence of original music, independent films, and upcoming technologies. It is broken into three “sub” conferences: Music, Film and Interactive. This year I was able to attend the Interactive part of SxSW.

There were so many people…I heard someone say there were at least 5,000+ registered for SxSW Interactive alone.

 

Exhibit Hall

The Exhibit Hall was huge. There were so many booths, I am still unsure if I visited them all or not.

Here are a few booths that I did stop at and either have or plan to try their products –

 

Austin

Of course, after all the sessions, there was Austin itself. I have always loved this city.

There were so many parties going on in the evenings that I can see why the guy below was tired…

Below are my posts that recap the sessions I attended:

After my first experience with SxSW, I will definitely be attending again.

    I think you guys have a really cool concept going with Glass. I plan on doing a small write-up on it later this week.
