Speaking Opportunities at the 2009 SXSW Interactive Festival

Panel and presentation ideas for the 2009 SXSW Interactive Festival were accepted from June 6 through July 11. All 1100+ proposals that were submitted during this time frame were posted to the SXSW Panel Picker, a unique interface that allows the online public to give direct feedback on the programming for next spring.

At this point, the window for submitting ideas for the 2009 SXSW Interactive Festival is closed. But, never say never -- if you want to inquire about getting your idea on the waiting list, then email us at this address. Also, getting onto the waiting list means that we will have your email and will notify you next spring when we start accepting ideas for the 2010 event. Or, keep posted on the panel process by subscribing to the monthly email newsletter.

For information on the sponsored panel room for the 2009 SXSW Interactive Festival, contact Katie King. The sponsored panel room allows interested companies to purchase a one-hour time slot -- and program this hour however they see fit.
