International Socialights of Mystery at SXSW

21 February 2008

At next month’s SXSW Interactive festival which will be held in Austin, Texas on 7-11 March, I’ll be moderating the “Mobile Phones: International Devices of Mystery” panel on March 10 at 11:30am. The panel features an all-star cast of international mobile industry celebrities and is a must-see if you’re going to be there. If you haven’t heard of SXSW Interactive, it’s ground zero for the creative web, mobile, film and music industries. In short, all the things you love in one place.

This year, Mark Zuckerberg, Jane McGonigal and Frank Warren are keynote speakers and there are far too many awesome panels to see. Highlights include Andreas Weigend’s Science of Designing Interactions, Behind the scenes at the Onion News Network and the Africa 2.0 panels. It isn’t all panels and no play, as meeting amazing people is the best thing there. Don’t just believe us, New York Times designer Khoi Vinh says

“Every time I go, I make more meaningful, long-lasting business contacts and new friends in the space of a long weekend than I might in months and months in New York City.”

New York’s not that bad, but trust me – it’s well worth the trip. If you’re going to be there – let me know so we can meet up.
