Hey there Adam, I totally agree with your take on SXSW. It's definitely about the networking. And speaking of which its always great to meet up with you at each event we both attend.
Cheers. David

You hit the nail on the head - connecting with people really is the primary benefit of SXSW. It was great to chat with you, Adam. Enjoy the rest of the event.

Aren't the Radian6 folks kinda creepy like that? Heh. Two of them commenting on one blog ... Big Brother is watching and he's Canadian. Heh.
Great to hang with you, A. You're a rock star.

Adam, I am completely jealous that you've gotten to meet Marcel, David, Beth and Jason. Glad you're having a great time in Austin. Hopefully I'll be able to join the crowd next year...

Let's see here. David and Marcel commenting on a blog within two minutes of each other? Could they be playing Simon Says?

Great review. It's been a blast hanging out with you and the other beantown boys at SXSW. Got a chuckle out of your red-lining skills above. Lots of great "networking" events going on here. More to come!

David/Marcel - At least you guys are living up to your product's expectations ;) Thanks for commenting and great to hang out with your whole team. Jason - Perhaps another time we'll get to talk shop more but really great to meet you. David - As a marketer and PR guy, this crowd is perfect for you and the agency you work for. I'd highly recommend considering it next year. Ari - You are the watchdog, as always, my friend. Aaron - Same here, thanks for being a gracious host in your new hometown. I still am dreaming of the Salt Lick - great local spot for serious BBQ.

Adam - this is a really cool post, and helps make the case to attend these sorts of conferences. I'm encouraged by your response to David, because my assumption was that this conference was more for the "interactive (whatever the hell that means) crowd." I'm glad to see that I am mistaken. Reading your review, and the ones from some of the folks commenting on this post, makes me want to go in 2010!
