"In its 22 years, SXSW has grown from a tiny music festival in the Texas capital into a massive, unavoidable media beast that reflects, discusses and showcases trends in culture and media but also often creates them." National Post, 3/13/08
SXSW Interactive is all about the content, with five days of Keynotes, Panel Programming, and Core Conversations (plus don't forget Tony Hsieh as the Opening Speaker on Saturday, March 14). Attendees can also hear from authors of recently-published tech-related titles via the Book Reading program. Check out the preliminary list of confirmed authors for 2009, including Wendy Chisholm (pictured at right), Joshua Porter, David M Scott and Simon St.Laurent. More participating authors announced soon!
