swswi2012 thumb1 Round Up: What I Learned at SXSWi 2012

Bethaney and I are on a plane right now, waiting to head back home to Kansas after being in Austin, Texas for South by Southwest Interactive this week.

To say that SXSWi was information overload would almost be an understatement. There are was so many people to meet, sessions to take in, and things to do that every day seemed overwhelming. That being said, we still had a blast.

What we learned at SXSWi is definitely going to help us become better internet marketers. Here are some key points I learned from some of the sessions.

The Social Robot: Live from SXSWi

By Kelsey Jones

swswi2012 thumb The Social Robot: Live from SXSWiBethaney and I will be joining the rest of the other tech nerds next week for South by Southwest Interactive, a conference that boasts these impressive stats:

Interactive Conference Participants: 19,364
Interactive Conference Sessions: 935
Approximate Number of Interactive Media in Attendance: 2,508

Yep. Pretty big deal. I’m hoping to meet Rainn Wilson and perhaps make eye contact with Seth McFarlane, wish me luck.

However, all fun aside, there are several amazing sessions led by experts in our industry that we can’t wait to learn a ton from. I will be live tweeting as much as my batteries allow from @wonderwall7 and @thesocialrobot.

Bethaney and I will be attending separate sessions so we can get the most out of the experience. There are several sessions on blogging, content, and social media that we know will not only benefit us as professionals in the internet marketing industry, but our clients as well.

In the meantime, if you’d like to sponsor us in exchange for wearing a company t-shirt or have any suggestions for food/fun/tips in Austin (like the best BBQ or TexMex), let us know.
