Programming sessions at the 2010 SXSW Interactive Festival are often very crowded. So, please remember to arrive early if there is a panel or presentation that you really really really want to see. How early? We recommend getting to the given room 10 minutes ahead of the published start time for a panel or a solo presentation. As for keynotes and featured speakers, you should plan on arriving at least 20 minutes before the scheduled start time if you want to get a seat. Plan your schedule now by clicking on my.sxsw.com. Also remember that some of the most memorable programming you will experience at SXSW Interactive is the stuff that you never anticipated attending.
