Here’s a quick round-up of how I spent the four days of my first SXSWi
- Sessions attended: 15
- Parties attended: 3
- Business cards collected: 16 (it seemed like more – I probably lost some)
- Moo cards collected: 5
- iPhone sightings: I lost count
- Minutes spent waiting in line for the bathroom: 0 (the best part of attending a heavily male-dominated conference)
- Most professionally relevant panel: Textbooks of the Future: Free and Collaborative
- Most endearing panel: The I Can Has Cheezburger guys
- All around favorite session: Kathy Sierra’s 20 Ways to Woo Users
It was an exhausting, exciting, inspiring, overwhelming experience. I can’t wait to come back next year.
