how to survive SXSW/Wrap up, tips for n00bs

I’m not going to blog about what i did at SXSWi07. There’s plenty of other people doing that. What I am going to do is give you a couple of simple tips for how to make it through the week and get the most out of it.

First off, before you even leave, you have to pack. I posted a list that i came up with before hand, but some other things that I discovered would have been handy:

  • Power Strip. I actually packed one of these at the last minute and im sure glad i did. plugs are at a premium, both in the hotel rooms and at the convention center. you’ll need to recharge your stuff…so why not share.
  • Once you’re there, attend any n00b panel they might be providing
    Don’t overplan your itinerary. In fact, try not to plan it at all
    talk to everyone. everyone. random weird dude on the couch (at a geek conference, there’s a lot of those) might be a developer for your favorite web app
