SXSW Update: Day 1
Hello, Austin!
Yesterday was the first day of SXSWi (South by Southwest Interactive) and so far it’s been everything we expected it to be and more.
We arrived at the hotel around 11am and embarked on a journey to downtown Austin to get our conference badges. As a first time SXSW attendee the size and amount of people within the Convention Center is truly a sight. After waiting in a massive line and becoming proud owners of an interactive badge (which I guard like nothing else) we set off to find the different panels and events we were all interested in. Honkfish split up, then met up later, then split up, then met up again. That’s the great thing about SXSWi – there are so many things to do that your group can split up to see what they want and meet up again after.
A small glimpse at amount of people in the Convention Center:

The magic of SXSWi is not only in the panels, it’s in the connections you make with people (and you’ll never know who you’ll meet). I haven’t even been here for more than 24 hours and already made connections with all types of people from social media strategists to engineers. I also met Tom from BlendTec
Nick even took a picture with Tom:
Oh, and I had to throw this in here because I love TRON and there was a TRON Legacy Lounge.
Look for a post later this afternoon from Nick about Days 2 and 3!
Cheers!
