SXsocial is the way to meet and network with registrants before, during and after the event. This year we have made it even easier to find your colleagues, clients, partners, or new connections among SXSW registrants. You can search by name, position, company, country, industry and more. Find someone you are interested in meeting? Send them a message or "star" them to mark them as a favorite for later.
