South by Southwest Interactive Recap

by on March 15, 2009

I’m on my way out from a (too) brief visit to SXSWi (South by Southwest Interactive) in Austin, TX. This portion of the conference is running a couple more days, but I have to get back to some stuff.

There was a great crowd at the show, especially in the TechSet Blogger Lounge – it was a who’s who of bloggers, as well as Magnify.net and Zappos putting on the Zappos Boxbreak! event.

I spent a good bit of time at the exhibit hall – some booths were a little abstract… zombies?!

And last night I was fanboy excited to see Diggnation Live.

Now it’s time to jump into my stack of business cards and get working on some new ideas.

I would be sort of surprised if they were still working there today.

I’m pretty sure they were impressed by our antics as well. We may have to make it an annual tradition- do you think Tim and Laura will still be there? :D

Live diggnation looked like fun. It always does, too bad I can never make it to those conferences.

Your Message@MLDina:
Dinner was a blast – thanks a lot for the invite. That was also one of the most interesting and interactive wait staffs I’ve experienced.

Glad you were finally able to make it to a MarketLeverage dinner. Hope you didn’t miss too much of the Diggnation event, but it looks like it was a blast. See you at the AdTech/Affiliate Summit beer garden. Look for the girl in the MarketLeverage snuggie!
