SXSWi 2008 Debrief
The past 4 days were spent in Austin, TX at this years SXSWi Festival.
I met lots of new people and was able to finally meet in person many people I’ve conversed with over the past few years.
Overall the experience was a good one. There were a number of really good panels, though I do have to say that I was a bit let down by some of them. Seems a lot of the panels were good in theory but just weren’t executed well.
I would have liked a few more panels that weren’t on such a beginner level, but I understand a huge number of people that go to SXSW are really knew to this stuff.
Twitter remarkably withstood the onslaught of constant updates from thousands of attendees and was used for just about all communication between people getting together during the day and for parties in the evenings.
It’s good to be home and hit the ground running with some renewed energy about things and if I met you this year, it was a pleasure.
