Leaving this Thrusday for
SXSW (South by South West) in Austin, Texas, of all places. My first time there. Glad to discover Austin and SXSW. Digitalarti even organized a partnership with SXSW.
The festival is so huge, there must be more than 1.000 conferences, workshops... There are 3 parts: Music, Film & Interactive. I will be there from the 11th to the 15th mostly for the Interactive part. The music side of the festival starts after with more than 1.500 bands coming to town!!
To give you an idea of the kind of conferences, I listed bellow a few ones I selected. Impossible to attend them all, they often start at the same time, in differents locations.
