If you’ll excuse us for just a second, we’d like to announce a new project we’ve been working on recently - SXSW Eco.

SXSW Eco (October 4-6 in Austin, Texas), will be a three-day conference acknowledging the need for a concerted approach across the public, private and academic sectors to solving the recognized challenges facing the environment, the economy, and civil society. SXSW Eco will provide unique networking opportunities and engaging sessions for decision-makers at the forefront of this discussion who are eager and ready to move beyond discourse and towards solutions.

You can head over to sxsweco.com to learn more. You can also get involved now by attending the conference, proposing a session idea or becoming a speaker, or contacting us about sponsoring the event.

We hope you’ll consider joining us October 4-6th in Austin, Texas for SXSW Eco and discover how to advance solutions for a sustainable world.

Thanks for your time. We’ll be back to more PanelPicker proposal tips, news and SXSW 2011 videos and streaming audio features shortly.
