It's Tuesday, and that means that SXSW PanelPicker voting has been open for one whole day! Don't wait, take advantage of your opportunity through August 31 to help shape programming for the upcoming 2013 season. If you entered a proposal into our PanelPicker interface, now is the time to engage your community in creative ways. When it comes to promoting your panel, remember, moderation and strategy are key. Knowing your audience and reaching out to them in new ways can help spread the work about your ingenius idea.

Public voting is an important part of the SXSW PanelPicker process, but only represents 30% of a proposal's total score. The SXSW Interactive staff and Advisory Board votes round out the remainder. We can't wait to dive in and see what next year has in store for us! Join us and register your vote until August 31, 2012.
