Going to SXSW 2009

Published on March 11, 2009 in Conferences, Events, SXSW and SXSW 2009. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , .

I know it’s still a few days away. But since I started getting all set up for crossing the Atlantic, heading to the awesome SXSW Interactive once more, I thought, I’d share my excitement with you. You’ll find my intended schedule at sched.org

It’ll be my third trip to SXSW after 2006 (after which I took a trip north to Alaska to attend a friend’s wedding) and 2008.

This year I’ll be traveling with Peter Prochaska, a friend and awesome PHP developer.

Looking forward to a mind-boggling conference and meeting inspiring people.

It’s Conference Time Again

This time it’s a conference not somewhere across the globe but right in my neighborhood; the Webkongress in Erlangen.

I’m really looking forward to the following panels:

A great opportunity to eventually meet more Webkrauts in person.

SXSWi 2006: Delayed write up (Update)

Published on April 25, 2006 in Events, SXSW and SXSW 2006. 0 Comments

Now it’s more than a month since I had the great opportunity to be part of the great gathering at SXSW Interactive and I still haven’t done the promised write up. The main reason is that it was very overwhelming, especially for someone who was there for the first time. So instead I’ve put together all the panels I attended during the conference. Of course, as many others have stated before, it was a very hard decision to pick which panels to go to. But I still think that I did a decent job.

Of course the write up isn’t put to rest, just put off till I’ll have time to sit down and review all my notes and maybe review the audio and video coverage on the SXSW website to spark my memory.
