Fade to Play

I will attending SXSW interactive for the first time next year. I am very excited to be going and I hope to meet many new people. There will be a group of us heading down from Vancouver. It will be a great opportunity to network and socialise with my friends as well as meet IRL those I know with whom I only know online.

What I would like to do is outline which panels and speakers I am planning to attend and then I will devote a blog entry each week to provide a more in-depth analysis.

Please contact me if you will also be attending.

Panels I’m attending to date:

• DataPlay: Living Games (Justin Hall)
• Africa 2.0: Affecting Change Using Technology (G. Kofi Annan)
• The Elephant Online: Digitally Expanding Information Memory (Joshua Schachter)
• Where Are The Black Tech Bloggers? (Lynne d Johnson)
• Respect! (Jeffrey Zeldman)
• Totally Wired Teens: How Teens are Using Your Applications (Anastasia Goodstein)
• Futurists’ Sandbox: Social Technologies in 2025 (Michele Bowman & Sandra Burchsted)

Relevance: It’s never too early to plan for SXSW. I’m also tracking SXSW and SXSWi on twitter.
