Here we go again…
Well it’s that time of the year again: SXSWi. Spoken like a veteran but in truth, this will only be my second visit. Just like last year, I’ll be joining all the cool kids at the Hampton Inn Downtown for geek breakfasts and then daily meanders to the convention centre.
As the event gets nearer, I’m filled with equal parts excitement and trepidation. Excitement at the sheer numbers of friends and colleagues that are heading over; A combination of both over the fact that I’m making my speaking debut; And genuine anguish about leaving Sarah and Jemima for a whole week. It’s all very sentimental I know, but I’m getting old so I’m allowed. I’m sure the Shiner Bock will help.
There’s lots going on isn’t there? Wow. Andy’s proposed trip to the Rodeo looks like a laugh. Cindy’s taken the bowling in to a new stratosphere of cool. And then there’s the Great British Booze Up. And if you need to know more, Jeremy’s Adactio Austin can help. Apparently there’s a conference as well.
I’ll see where the tide takes me and look forward to meeting lots of new faces. Twitter seems to be the mode-of-communication-of-choice. I’m on there, so get in touch if you want to chew the fat.

Great presentation and I am completely rethinking how to leverage the wireframing technique to replace our existing 2D, 100+ page documentation with this more Agile approach. Are you going to put it online?

Thanks Rob…appreciate the feedback. Do let us know how you get on.
In terms of materials, the slides we used would be fairly useless without the audio, but the SXSWi team do seem to be podcasting the panels. Definitely worth keeping an eye (or ear!) out.
In the meantime, here are the links to the materials we mentioned:
