SXSWi Recap: Networking at the Next Level

SXSWi in Austin, TX

Today in the TenSpot, three LevelTen-ians recap their trip down to the great town of Austin for 2010's SXSWi Conference. The team just returned from the event, which used "Tomorrow Happens Here" as the rallying cry for this year's participants.

Colin made his first voyage to SXSWi this year, while Rachel and Tom returned for their second trip this year.

The panel discusses their likes, gripes, experiences and highlights about the conference, which hosted more than 17,000 participants this year, including some of the most influential ambassadors in interactive development today. LevelTen's own Colin even placed himself among the ranks of the influencers by presenting a session on Citizen Journalism.
