So last year at SXSW was an amazing experience – I met so many people and made some truly remarkable friends. I also attended a number of panels and discussion sessions, as well as parties!
This coming year, things are a little different. For one – we have a launched product. For another, I am aiming to be an active participant, and not just an attendee.
I’ve submitted a Panel suggestion that I would really appreciate it if you could go to vote for our Panel:
Social Influence: Empowering Your Customer
Companies understand product development, but often forget to encourage customer feedback. This session will discuss opportunities that empower consumers with a voice. Learn to inspire dialogue, leverage influencers and innovate! We’ll look at what’s possible, discuss examples & explore failures. Learn firsthand from professionals who do this every day. http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/1381
Panelists include: Marcus Nelson, Tony Hsieh, Chris Brogan, Amy Muller, and Alex Hillman – It’s going to be an amazing presentation, so I hope you’ll stop by to enjoy.
I also have some friends who will be presenting – perhaps you could add a vote to their presentations as well? Thnx, that’d be swell!
