What I take away from my experience at SXSW is that this chaotic convergence of fields of knowledge is definitely not only more equipped at understanding today's hyper connected media world but also at shaping it and designing what's next. - Catalina Rojas (Dewey Awards honoree) S XSW was very pleasing as we were able to work the bands in a better way and close many deals from sponsorships opportunities to development in other markets. The festival always ends up being inspirational since it's a big challenge for us to face the reality of the industry, where if you don't hustle you don't progress." - Joaquin "Wakks" Pavia, (Artist man- ager: México City, México) I guess there are at least two ways to do SXSW: planning carefully what you're going to do, or stumbling upon things and going with the flow. I went with the flow and I loved every second of it. - Alberto Ferreras, (writer/filmmaker, panelist: "Bilingual Media: Latino Entertainment in the XXI Century") I t's really nice to see that electronic music finds more and more its place within the SXSW program. Our nights were a tremen- dous success. - Karsten ter Hoeven (Amsterdam Dance Event) C oming from a small country like ours that lacks a live music industry, for us SXSW resulted in a transcendental experi- ence that allowed us to understand the complex but simple dynamics that exists between art and business. - Estereo Humanzee (showcasing artist: Quito, Ecuador) Monday, March 16 – Wednesday, March 18
