SXSWeek 2010: March 12-21. The South by Southwest (SXSW) Conferences & Festivals in Austin, Texas, have started and offer the unique convergence of original music, independent films, and emerging technologies. CNN says SXSW is ‘home to ‘nerd’ networking’ and Dennis Crowley, a co-founder of Foursquare says ‘It’s spring break for nerds’;  we see it as an event where everything can be shared, mixed up and shown, whatever can be the ‘artistic’ domain. It sure is the place to be for geeks but not only for them.

An introduction to the SXSW from their website:

Year after year, the event is a launching pad for new creative content. New media presentations, music showcases and film screenings provide buzz-generating exposure for creators and compelling entertainment for audiences. Conference panel discussions present a forum for learning, business activity thrives at the Trade Shows and global networking opportunities abound. Austin serves as the perfect backdrop for SXSW®, where career development flourishes amid the relaxed atmosphere. Intellectual and creative intermingling among industry leaders continues to spark new ideas and carve the path for the future of each ever-evolving field, long after the events’ conclusion.
