Making new media content more accessible to more people has always been a popular programming topic at the SXSW Interactive Festival. To this end, we are excited about the upcoming John Slatin AccessU event at St. Edwards University in Austin. Scheduled May 14-16, this event is organized by our friends at Knowbility (who you may have visited with at the SXSW Trade Show).
Are you a startup that launched at (or just before) SXSW Interactive? If so, then we would love to hear your story. Please contact us and tell us about your experience.
What is your product? How did you market your launch at SXSW? What kind of launch goals did you have going into the event? Did you meet your goals? What were the rewards / challenges of launching at (or just before) SXSW Interactive? The more (and the more detail) you can tell us, the more we work on methods to improve the success of launches at SXSW.
Now help us keep the memories alive by sharing photos of your favorite moments from SXSW 2013. Freecreditscore.com is still adding SXSW pics to their Facebook gallery and you can be a part of it, too. Did you catch their Divine Fits showcase at the IFC Crossroads House? Did you run into Eric and score a free band t-shirt? Let's see it! Just tag your pics with #faceinthecrowd or #freecreditscore and they'll do the rest.
