March is unquestionably the greatest month of the year. It’s the month of my birthday (March 4…big presents, please) and also the month when the annual South by Southwest Interactive/Film/Music Festival rolls into Austin.
SXSW 2011 stands to be one of the best festivals yet…primarily because panel ideas submitted by three of my colleagues and I made it through the latest round of voting. Okay, to be honest, the festival would be great anyway, but why settle for great when awesome is so much better?
All it takes is a few clicks to cast your vote for four panels that are sure to entertain and educate (one of which may involve screaming and flying vegetables). Voting ends at midnight tonight. Please cast your vote now!
- “PR Eats Its Own: The Worst of 2011” (this one’s mine…it will either be a lot of fun or get me fired…probably both)
- “Ring! Ring! Can U Hear Us (Developers) Now?” (this one’s Laura Merling’s…one of the smartest people I’ve ever worked with…will be a great panel that shakes/wakes up the telco industry)
- “Designing Tomorrow’s Telco” (this one’s my friend Ross Turk’s…he killed on-stage at the Gluecon conference in Denver earlier this year)
- “Can Developers Help Carriers Get Into The Game?” (this one’s Scott Monson’s…check out YouTube’s “fake scott monson”…the guy’s a bonafide video star)
