Are you ready for SXSW 2007?

sxsw2007.jpg

I’m gearing up to go to SXSW. I went solo last year but am thrilled that I will be heading there as part of the AgencyNet team this year. The panels look awesome and I’m having a hard time deciding which ones I want to go to. I wish I could split myself and hit up 2 panels at once. The good news is that they tape a lot of the panels so you can watch some of the ones you missed later.

Here are just few that I’m really looking forward to:

  • Ruining the User Experience: When JavaScript and Ajax Go Bad
  • Everything You Always Wanted to Know About the Mobile Web…but Were Afraid to Ask.
  • The Influence of Art in Design

The Mobile Web is going to be a big part of the future and seems to be a big theme in a lot of the panels this year. Last year there was a big focus on standards and using video on the web.

Also, the AgencyNet developed site, www.ownyourc.com is up for an award for the categorey of Business: Green/Non-Profit. These are sites devoted to the promotional needs, functions and services of green and non-profit businesses. Check out all of the categories and finalists here.

It’s going to be a jam packed few days! Fullman and I will probably be doing a bit of blogging about the event.

    Larissa,
    It would be very interesting to get an idea of what the industry feels is going to impact the future use of the mobile web. Please take some good notes for us :)

    I know what you mean, there’s really a lot of good panels to choose from this year!

    Plus, I’m thrilled that you listed “Influence of Art…” as one of the ones you’re really looking forward to, since I’ll be up there sharing the stage with some really great people. Be sure to say hello afterwards if you get a chance!

    Excellent panel choices, all 3 on my list as well. Are you guys seeing much interest in mobile web projects where you work?

    I’m also glad to see you’re looking forward to The Influence of Art in Design – definitely swing by the front afterwards and say hello.

    It’s about time that mobile will be getting its due – whether directly because of Apple or not, at least attention will be paid…
