Need your vote! SXSW Panel Submission Needs Some Love

Posted August 8th, 2008 at 10:28am

Have something to say about this article?

It’s that time of the year again…

SXSWi, at which I had an awesome time last year, received 1200+ submissions for around 100 panel spots at the 2009 event. For the uninitiated, they use a panel voting system to determine interest in specific topics. It counts for about 30% of the decision, then the SXSW team has about 30% of the vote, and an advisory panel has the rest. So really, this is just one part - but it’s the only one we have some control over! I, and two other adorable and smart women, have proposed a panel on video marketing and we need some love!

I know that not everyone can make it to the event next spring in happy Austin, Texas, but you can certainly express your interest in what you would want to see! :)


Rock Your Video Marketing Like a P*rn Star (But With More Clothes On)

  • Porn stars use online video to manage their ‘business’ reputation, sell their goods, get fans and get subscribers. While you might not be a porn star, you can learn a lot from them about how to use online video to rock your marketing and get real results, and this all-girl panel will show you all of it.

All we need you to do is VOTE! Show your love with 5 stars. You do need to register, but it’s FAST and you can gave some fun voting on others, too.

If you have a panel, please post a comment so we can all vote for you! THANK YOU! :)

Landing Pages are Just Effective Web Design

Ahhh, landing pages. This stuff is FUN. Seriously, I love this.
And when I say ‘landing page,’ I don’t mean a one page site where I might promote an affiliate offer. I mean the page that a visitor hits first when entering your site. In reality, every page on your site is a landing page. […]

Why no love for Austin? (at SEMforSMB right now…)

I seriously wonder why there aren’t more search marketing conference in Austin, Texas. What gives? Anyone know?
