MY Registrants, Panelists, Filmmakers and Artists dish about SXSW 2010 FRIDAY MARCH 12 FOR ANYONE IN THE interactive, creative, film, cause, technology, media, education, music, marketing, entertainment or startup space, SXSW Interactive is a must-at- tend event. It is probably the most exciting gath- ering of smart, passionate people – amateur and professional alike – who are looking at ways media and technology are changing society (and how to build, grow, sus- tain, shape and re-shape whatever that society will look like in the future). - Brian Reich, Managing Director: little m media (New York, NY) FOR ME, SXSW IS ABOUT the intersec- tion of the things I love most, technology and music. This year, I went to panels at both Interactive and Music that really influenced my thinking about how musicians can manage their careers and engage their fans with social media. "How the Internet is Disrupting the Concert Industry" and "Crowdfunding Music: Raising Money from your Fans" both provided data and techniques that I can begin discussing with musicians immediately. I can always count on SXSW to keep me on the cutting edge of trends and ideas. -Dr. Cindy Royal, Texas State University Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Matthew Vaughn and Aaron Johnson at the SXSW world premiere of Kick-Ass.
