3. As You Are Planning and PackingâŚ
SXSWi is a big show in a small city. That creates the expected tension between
resources and need. There will be crowds, lines and waits. However, the show is
manageable if you keep some basic guidelines in mind as you prepare for your
SXSW adventure:
B
ring comfortable shoes. Youâll be walking and standing more than you
1 expect or plan.
B
e prepared for some strategic socializing. The sessions are incredible,
2 but the lounges and parties are where you really learn and make connections. Be
courageous and remember to bring business cards!
T
ake along extra chargers and batteries. Donât depend too much on
3 technology being available. What? Isnât this a conference about technology?
Right. But, the WiFi is still almost always overloaded, signals will fade in and out
and your battery will run out of juice long before you do. The solution: bring extra
batteries, a portable charger and have the hutzpah to ask to borrow the technical
fruits of others when you are desperate. Also know that you can charge up at the
lounges; striking up a conversation at a charging station is a great way to meet
new friends.
B
ring your running shoes. The trails along the Colorado River are wonderfully
4 flat, and there is no better way to experience the Austin atmosphere than with an
early morning run or walk, before the city wakes up.
K

or near the hotel. Or, better yet, pack your luggage with some pretzels and water
bottles. The lines at SXSW are long. You donât want to miss your prime seat in the
10th row just because you need libation.
B
e aware of the weather. Austin in March has a wide range of weather.

Accuweather.com shows that the high temperatures over the course of SXSWi will
range from 73 degrees F on Saturday to 60 degrees F on Monday. Lows will be in

5. Session Planning...
Thereâs hundreds and hundreds of panel sessions and nearly all of them are
great. You have the opportunity to be choiceful. Just remember that there are
very few bad choices. However, a lot of the panels are at an introductory level.
So, if your skills are already somewhat developed, this could be your opportunity
to branch out even farther. As you may have already noted, SXSW now defines
panels as Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced.
Before we get specific in our favorite panel choices, we want to point out a few
trends we noticed this year in panel topics.

6. Keynotes Featured Sessions...
All of the keynote sessions are âmust-seeâ events â SX continues to do an
outstanding job at capturing the current zeitgeist and seeing into the future,
finding just the right topics and people to excite and inspire. Keynotes are at
2pm each day of SXSWi, and you can read about them here: SXSWi Keynotes
We look forward to Elon Muskâs keynote (Saturday, March 9, 2 pm). As an
incredibly thoughtful entrepreneur, he successfully strikes the balance between
technology and business, with a focus on accessibility. With multiple well-known
companies on his CV (PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla), his experience is robust and his
vision is not to be missed.
In addition to the keynotes, the SXSWi Featured Sessions are worth adding to
your SXSW schedule. One in particular that weâd like to call out:
Brian Solis, a principal analyst at the Altimeter Group who spoke at an
MSLGROUP New York Social Media Week panel discussion on February 20, will
be interviewing Shaquille OâNeal on Monday, March 11 from 12:30-1:30pm
in Dell Hall at the Long Center. On Twitter, Shaq was the first verified celebrity
account and now has more than 6.6 million followers â Jack Dorsey once said:
âTwitter wouldnât be what it is today without Shaquille OâNeal.â Additionally,
Brian will debut his new book âWhatâs the Future of Business?â
Austin
Weâre also excited to cheer as danah boyd is inducted into the Interactive Hall
of Fame (Tuesday, March 12, 6:00pm). As a leading researcher across all areas
of privacy, danah sets user, political and business agendas, and her influence
extends from her work at Microsoft Research to both the MacArthur Foundation
and Lady Gagaâs Born This Way Foundation.

7. Session Recommendations...
As you are planning your panel selections, it may be smart to map these against
some of the emerging next-generation communication needs. Hereâs what we
think might be cool and interesting:
Big Data
Big Data is one of the top trends in communications and business. There are
almost 20 sessions focusing on it at SXSW. But just like when you are analyzing
big data it is easy to get overloaded. A few sessions that stood out include:
Big Data: Is It Killing Creativity?
Aseem Chandra, Vice President of Marketing, Adobe
Sunday, March 10, 4:00-4:15 -- Hilton Austin, Room 615AB
Intermediate â http://schedule.sxsw.com/2013/events/event_IAP2751
#sxsw #datasxsw
Storytelling. Creativity. Emotion. These elements have forever been the
backbone of marketing. The rise of marketing analytics has resulted in
information previously not available to an artistic industry rooted in creativity,
not numbers. But how much customer data is too much? What if creatives
overanalyze data and lose the art of compelling storytelling? Will dashboards
push aside storyboards? Hear how data and creativity are both competing
and coexisting in marketing today.
Big Data Meet Up

Saturday, March 9, 3:30-4:30pm â- Four Seasons, San Jacinto Ballroom
Intermediate - http://schedule.sxsw.com/2013/events/event_IAP2266
#sxsw #PopUP
Pop Ups sell experiences, access and disruption as much as they sell
products, and they are ubiquitous in urban areas across the globe. Weâre
interested to learn more about the business metrics behind these âeventsâ,
to see if they are augmenting digital commerce and filling the gaps left
by a challenging economy, or if pop ups are merely a spark, destined to
fade away.

9. Present Shock: When Everything Happens Now
Douglas Rushkoff, Author, Present Shock, Codecademy
Saturday, March 9, 5:00pm - 6:00pm -- Austin Convention Center, Ballroom D
Advanced - http://schedule.sxsw.com/2013/events/event_IAP4450
#sxsw #rushkoff
Life today is live, real-time, and always on. Itâs not a mere speeding up, however
much technology accelerated the rate at which we attempt to do things. Living in
the eternal present has affected our biology, behavior, politics, and culture: Zombie
apocalypse fantasies signal our yearning for an ending; the Tea Party and Occupy
Wall Street form two sides of the same post-narrative coin; investing in the future
has been replaced by a futile effort to extract value off the trade itself; the tragedy
of 9/11 disconnected an entire generation from a sense of history, while conspiracy
theories actually comfort us when linear stories no longer have time to play out. This
talk is about the new ânow,â how to develop for it, create content for it, do business
in it and, most of all, live in it.
Innovation
Innovation Leadership in the Agile Age
Scott Cook, Founder, Intuit
Sunday, March 10 @12:30-1:30 -- Hilton Austin Downtown, Salon FGH
Intermediate - http://schedule.sxsw.com/2013/events/event_IAP6682
#sxsw #agilelead
Leadership is a rare and treasured quality, critical for innovation, but also for
ensuring relevance to a changing consumer as well as a satisfied workforce. We look
forward to hearing Scott Cookâs insights on how to enable teams to experiment with
transformation, with the full support and empowerment of leadership.
Storytelling
With storytelling being a central component of how brands connect with and
engage consumers, it is no surprise there are 55 sessions on storytelling. A few
that jumped out at us include:
Data, Storytelling and Breaking Through the Noise
Sunday, March 10, 9:30-10:30am -- Wanderlust

10. How Can Brands We Love, Tell Stories We Share?
Aman Govil, Prod Mktg Mgr, Google; Kevin Mayer, VP Marketing, Volkswagen;
Winston Binch, CDO, Deutsch Advertising
Sunday, March 10, 3:30-4:30pm -- Austin Convention Center, Ballroom G
Beginner â http://schedule.sxsw.com/2013/events/event_IAP15722
#sxsw #brandstory
Weâre in the midst of a second creative revolution, this time driven by art,
copy and code. A brandâs story is no longer just an ad, or a book, or a
film; it can be just about anything, and live anywhere. What do these new
kinds of stories look like? Google partnered with a few iconic brands and
visionary creatives to find out. In this session, weâll present experiments
in ads, apps, social and mobile and that are reimagining advertisingâs
future.
New Standards for a New Era of Journalism
Craig Newmark, founder customer service rep, Craigslist, and Kelly McBride,
Sr Faculty, The Poynter Institute
Sunday, March 10, 5:00-6:00pm -- Hilton Austin Downtown, Salon FGH
Intermediate - http://schedule.sxsw.com/2013/events/event_IAP5248
#sxsw #mcnewmark
Trust in traditional news sources is at an all-time low. Trust in new start-
up newsrooms is even lower. Why is this? Craig Newmark (yes, that
Craig Newmark) and Kelly McBride of The Poynter Institute last year
gathered some of the top thought leaders in journalism to write a new
set of Guiding Principles for the 21st Century. Newmark and McBride will
team up to debate these findings, the revelations of the essays, and the
implications for journalism and democracy.

11. Technology
Brainstorming Technology First
Will Turnage, VP Technology Invention, R/GA
,
Saturday, March 9, 12:30-1:30pm â Omni Downtown
Beginner - http://schedule.sxsw.com/2013/events/event_IAP1052
#sxsw #techfirst
Technology is driving much of todayâs business opportunities and offers a
solid foundation for creative thinking and new ideas. This session offers
a technology-first process and exercises as well as examples of successful
products and services developed with this methodology. This approach to
melding tech and creative should be insightful and inspiring!
Emerging Media Devices
Aaron Smith, VP Mobile Tablet Strategy, Team Detroit; Glenn Stansbury, VP of

#sxsw #DetroitLab
Given the proliferation of channels, the frequently simultaneous usage
of multiple devices, and a constantly changing landscape, getting the
message heard by the RIGHT audience is an ongoing challenge. This
panel promises to explore both tactics for today as well as offering insight
into what the future may hold.

12. Other
The Big Power Shift in Media
Jonah Peretti, CEO Founder, BuzzFeed
Tuesday, March 12, 12:30pm-1:30pm -- Austin Convention Center,

#sxsw #PowerShift
W
hen SXSW Interactive began, blogging was new, people still sent email
forwards, and print media stocks were at record highs. The South By crowd knew
a big change was coming but the rest of the world didnât. Now the change is
here for everyone. Weâre in the midst of the big shift from portals, to search, to
social. Facebook, Twitter, and the social web are mature and content spreads
faster and further than ever before. Owning the printing press or the broadcast
pipe matters less and less in a world where creating content people love to
share is the key to success. Jonah Peretti, BuzzFeed CEO and Founder will
discuss the next wave of innovation in media. He will share practical advice on
how your ideas can spread to millions of people and how your business can
adapt to a world where social is the biggest growth engine, banner ads are
dying, and Facebook and Twitter have become the new starting point for news,
entertainment and culture.
Esther Dyson, Release 0.9
Esther Dyson, Chairman, EDventure Holdings; Christine Lagorio,
Exec Editor, Inc. magazine
Tuesday, March 12, 12:30pm-1:30pm -- Austin Convention Center, Ballroom D
Advanced - http://schedule.sxsw.com/2013/events/event_IAP16016
#sxsw #Release9
The prescient and inspirational Esther Dyson will be offering her
perspectives on whatâs intriguing right now in an interactive conversation.
Esther always seems to get interested in things before they become
popular. Her enthusiasms include space travel, the quantified self, and
Russia. But sheâs no dreamer. She has investment positions in 23andMe,
Facebook, Evernote, LinkedIn, Square, and Yandex, along with some of
the most worldâs most fascinating companies youâve never heard of.

13. Identity and security are topics of interest to communicators. One session that is
a âcanât missâ for Mark McClennan is:
Identity+30: The Future of Identity
Sam Lessin, Director of Products, Facebook
Sunday, March 10, 5:00-6:00pm -- Sheraton Austin, Capitol View South
Beginner - http://schedule.sxsw.com/2013/events/event_IAP5512
#sxsw #idplus30
One thing that many people find troubling is our societyâs inability to
think and plan more than a handful years into the future. This relatively
short term perspective is fully insufficient as we move towards an ever
faster, more interconnected, and more dynamic world where we need
to keep alive the discussion about the long-term implications of these
emerging macro-trends. While heâs normally the moderator of these
events, Sam Lessin, the founder of drop.io and current director of product
at Facebook leading the Identity Product Group, will be speaking on what
identity might look like in 30 years: Identity+30.
13
14. Parties @ SXSW...
Big parties are accessible if you have a badge, but you might find that youâre
spending more time waiting to get in than you are partying. One solution is to
go at off-peak times and meet up with friends afterward. Be open to where the
night takes you.
For a list of all the parties at SXSWi: SXSWi Parties
Our party recommendations are:
Interactive Opening Party - Friday
PayPal - Pop! In Party - Saturday
MashBash at SXSW - Sunday
#VegasTech SXSW Party â Monday
Interactive Closing Party â Tuesday
(Kudos to you if youâre still going strong on Tuesday after a party every night.
Not many people can do that)
Be sure to go to one of the @NIGHT at #FEED parties sponsored by Twitter
(there is one every night)

15. Hungry? Hereâs a Few Picks âŚ
Although she now works at MSL Atlanta, Texas native Lindsey Kusiel keeps Austin
close to her heart â and her stomach. Hereâs what this UT grad and foodie has
to say about Austinâs food scene:
âCheck out my restaurant, food truck, happy
hour and activity suggestions all around
the ATX! You and your taste buds wonât be
disappointed. Follow me on Twitter @kutesiel
if you have any questions or just want to
tweet. Have fun at SXSW!!â
Breakfast/Brunch:
South Congress CafĂŠ: Not only is South Congress CafĂŠ the greatest brunch
spot in town, but itâs on the South Congress strip â a popular spot for tourists.
Donât leave without trying their famous Bloody Mary!
Ciscoâs: Migas and biscuits, what more could you want? Itâs a hole in the wall
on East 6th Street. Donât go if youâre turned off by old tables and lack of dĂŠcor,
but thatâs what makes it so special.
Juan in a Million: If youâve never had a breakfast taco, then youâre in for a
treat. Man vs. Food attempted the âDon Juanâ taco â Try to eat as many Don
Juan breakfast tacos as you can. Last I checked, the record was eight!
Z Tejas: Check out this upscale southwestern brunch or dinner spot on West 6th
Street.
24 Diner: Not your typical diner food. The best chicken and waffles in Austin.
15
16. Lunch:
Torchyâs Tacos: Go to Torchyâs for the best breakfast taco for lunch youâll ever
eat. Try out the Migas, Brushfire, Baja Shrimp or make your own! Above all,
donât miss out on the chips green chile queso as itâs the FINEST in town.
Franklin Barbeque: If you want to get messy, check out Franklin BBQ for
brisket, ribs, pulled pork, turkey, sausage and more. Donât be scared away by
the line that wraps around the restaurant!
Perlas: Top patio spot in town for people watching and known for their yummy
seafood and oyster bar.
Fricanos: In the mood for a sandwich? Check out one of the most delicious
paninis youâll find in Austin. Itâs right by UT Campus, so order to-go and walk up
Guadalupe Street.
Food Heads: Specialty sandwiches, soups, salads and sides are all made from
scratch, and they have multiple tea flavors too.
Hula Hut: Hula Hut is Mexican food with a Tiki twist! The restaurant sits on the
lake, so ask for a prime table on the back patio.
Hopdoddy: Known for their burgers and beer, hopdoddy offers the freshest, all-
natural ingredients with buns made from scratch and baked fresh twice daily.
Dinner:
La Traviata: A delicious Italian bistro on Congress Ave. known for a variety of
pasta dishes! This one is owned by a relative of someone in the home office. We
nighly encourage a visit.
Eddie Vâs: The nicest seafood restaurant that downtown Austin has to offer.
Order the Tuna Tartare to start, the Hong Kong Style Sea Bass or Bone-in Filet
for your entrĂŠe and donât leave without tasting the Bananas Foster FlambĂŠ for
dessert.
Mattâs El Rancho: For a real Tex-Mex experience, go to Mattâs El Rancho. Itâs
wonderful for big parties. Must drink Mexican Martinis (two is the limit!)
16
17. Manuelâs: This restaurant is a more upscale Mexican spot on Congress that
offers tasty food and drinks.
Vespaio: Italian at its finest. Vespaio is on South Congress and has authentic
antipasti salads, wood-fired pizzas, pastas from light to robust, extraordinary
entrees, and decadent desserts.
Uchi or Uchiko: Uchi is closer to downtown but Uchiko is larger, both offer
Japanese small plates and sushi. If youâre a Top Chef fan, you know that Paul
Qui (winner of Season 9) is the executive chef at Uchiko.
Moonshine: Southern style American cooking on Red River Street. The Pecan
Crusted Catfish and White Chocolate Bread Pudding are staples!
Second Bar + Kitchen: Great cocktails with a delicious seasonal menu. The
kitchen offers small plates and large entrees perfect for sharing or keeping to
yourself.
