Spotlight FAQ: What is a Core Conversation?

sxsw_faq.jpgCore Conversations are more formalized versions of the discussions that usually pop up in the hallways between, during and after href="http://sxsw.com/interactive/talks/panels">panel sessions.

Led by a moderator, these hour-long conversations encourage attendees to share their experiences and discuss specific topics like href="http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/1269">Web accessibility, href="http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/1475">bootstrapping your startup, and digital dating.

This year, we anticipate about 75 total Core Conversations, each in its own room to eliminate any noise or distractions. Traditionally one of the most productive parts of the SXSW Interactive Festival, these sessions let attendees know what kind of discussion is happening when and where, and puts them right in the center of interactivity.
