My colleagues were sat, but I was standing up at a separate table. A gentleman politely asked me if he could wait next to me. He asked if his friends could join him and I obliged. The guy is an entrepreneur for a service growing more and more popular that gives exposure to videos. After few minutes of chatting, he told me his daughter loved Japan and wrote a lot of stories about it. Since we were looking for such a profile, I presented him my colleagues, and we figured we could hire her for a year. And because we need exposure to the US market, his service is also a perfect fit for us." - Marc-Alexandre Cartiant (ODIGO: Tokyo, Japan) S o many good memories from SXSW, chief among them premiering at the Stateside on Friday night-- walking up Congress with our cast and crew before the show, feeling that uniquely amazing South By audience connect with the film, then walking back down Congress at 3 am, too fired up to sleep. - Karyn Kusama, Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi (Director and writers/pro- ducers, The Invitation) W hile heading to get my badge on my first day, I ran into an old buddy. I found out that his last startup had been quite successful, and then he invited me to a get-together later that evening. It ended up being hugely beneficial in helping my co-workers and I begin our networking with startups at the festival." - Seph Robinson (Amazon Web Services, SXSW Interactive mentor) I t was one of the best conferences I have ever attended. I loved the networking emphasis. I loved the ability to cross pol- linate with other industries. - Scott Goldman (University of Michigan) Friday, March 13 – Monday, March 16
