The success of Blacks in Technology Meetup at the SXSW Interactive Festival has inspired a second such event for 2010. Please mark your calendar for 6-9pm on the evening of Sunday, March 14, when the first-ever "Latinos in Technology Meetup" takes place at the Carver Museum and Cultural Center (1165 Angelina Street).

This event hopes to bring together Latinos who have registered for SXSW Interactive, as well as locals from the Austin new media/digital creative community ... so, no badge required for entry. As for Latino oriented programming at the 2010 SXSW Interactive Festival, be sure to check out "The Online Latino: A New Digital Native" with Esteban Contreras, "Is Technology the Great Equalizer?" with Kety Esquivel, and "Austin: Latino Internet Capitol of the World!" with Paul Saucido and Cindy Casares.
