Yup, you read that right! We’re moseying on down to Austin, Texas, to join the techie madness that’s SXSW Interactive. In case you’re unfamiliar, SXSW is an annual exhibition of music, technology and film that draws tens of thousands of people from all corners of the world. The Interactive portion of SXSW, taking place March 9 – 13, 2012, is a confluence of tech entrepreneurs, investors, companies, brands, start-ups and tech-hungry consumers, all coming together to sample the latest and greatest from the digital world.
Not only are we thrilled to be attending such an awesome conference, but we’re excited to announce that our founder and chairman, Brad Gerstner, will be speaking on the Crowdsource This! panel with Jason Calacanis, founder and CEO of Mahalo.com, and Rich Barton, co-founder and executive chairman of Zillow.com. Together, they’ll address the pros and cons of employing user-generated content, and discuss how companies can leverage this unique content to help build their business. So if you’re going to be in Austin for SXSW, be sure to catch this panel – you won’t want to miss it.
