Executive SummaryEvery year, Webbmedia Group combs through the SXSW conference lineup andselects speakers, screenings, workshops and panel sessions that we think arethe most relevant to/ interesting for our clients. Youll find the day, date, time,

name of session, location and a reason why we think you should attend.

Important Conference Information This is the 27th anniversary of the conference, and the 20th anniversary

year of the Interactive festival.

This year, expect fewer panel sessions (there are still a few hundred), 300

trade show booths and 15,000+ Interactive conference attendees.

Make sure to complete your online social profile so that you can connect

with other attendees.

If you havent already made hotel reservations, plan to rent a car and stayin San Antonio.

Last year, some people waited in line for three hours or more just to

register. Avoid the crowds: get to registration right when it opens or much

later in the early evening.

Dont sound like a tourist. Veterans call the conference Southby.

Abbreviate it on social media as SX or SXSW.

Much of the action takes place at the parties. You can certainly try to show

up and get in to parties once youre in Austin, but its much better if you

arrange to get on the guest lists well in advance.

Webbmedia Group will be on-site for all of the 2013 SXSW Interactive Festival.Have a question? Need a recommendation? Clients can call our office 24 hoursa day: +1.267.342.4300. We will be holding office hours on-site and willannounce days, dates and our online scheduling system soon.
