I got back today from the SXSW interactive conference in Austin, Texas. Aside from falling completely in love with the city of Austin again, we managed to get to a few sessions and do some networking with major tech players. We met some of the lead developers of WordPress and a few fellow themers and hung out with the super-cool author of WordPress For Dummies, Lisa Sabin-Wilson. We also met Darren Rowse of Pro Blogger.
SXSW is all about meeting people and taking advantage of the 100% geek saturation of Austin for 5 days. Matt Danner tweeted during the conference, “I’m looking for @adbrad. It’s like… Looking for a hipster at #sxsw.” It really was tech hipster overload, but in the coolest way possible. I’ll be going back again for sure.
So I have a lot of blogging to do about SXSW. I’ll be posting some video conversations with Matt over the next week or so on our thoughts about the conference, blogging, business and social media. They’ll be in a group of “Little Thoughts from a Big Event.”
Check out the quick blog Matt and I put up to document the trip. sxsw.ithemes.com. And look for more posts on here later this week.
