One of our goals each year is to give our registrants spaces to interface with each other, foster ideas, and grow as a community. Whether online before the event, on my.SXSW, during the event at a party, in the middle of a Core Conversation, or in a lounge, we want you to connect with others in the industry. Today, Stephanie Agresta, co-founder of the Techset, shares her experiences of SXSW Interactive and hosting the Techset Blogger Lounge.

"SXSW Interactive is fueled by the strength of the community. We make this annual pilgrimage to foster the real-life connection that drives our understanding of market trends, creates new business opportunities and enhances the products and services which we develop. For me, there was no better place to find that community on display at this year’s festival than in the Techset Blogger Lounge sponsored by Windows Mobile. The blogger lounge was a non-stop hub of creative activity and networking.

The Austin Suite on the 3rd floor of the convention center served as the local town square and everyone stopped in!"
