An early list of my favorite sxsw panels

business, clients, design, learning, listening, media, photoshop, strategy, sxsw, technology, the internet, twitter, webdesign

I’m diving headfirst into sxsw interactive this year, and i’m already stoked about the conference just from browsing through the proposed panels on the panelpicker. i do have a proposed panel, just in case you want to check it out.

before jumping into my early favorites, i do want to note one choice that the sxsw organizers took, that i thought was really classy and cool: there is no vote count or leaderboard for the proposed panels! very very cool, and a great attempt at keeping this from becoming a bandwagon ready popularity contest. thanks sxswi!

that being said, here is an early list of my favorite panels i’ve found so far, and as always i would love to hear your thoughts on these and / or other panels:
