Changing the world, one sxsw session at a time
Posted Monday, August 15th, 2011 at 10:44 pm by Eve (41 posts)
For some people, they can’t wait for excitement of christmas morning. I feel the same way about the day that the sxsw panel picker opens for voting. Sure, I’m weird. But in the best possible way, right? (of course right).
For sxsw 2012, not only have my awesome colleagues at Beaconfire, our partners and our clients come up with some amazing sessions, but this year’s batch of nonprofit/social good panels are some of the best ever.
Without further ado, vote for all these great ideas. If you feel so inclined, add your comments to the panel page as well – sxsw wants to hear what our community thinks about these sessions:
