Austinites Talking about SXSW Interactive
Tom Johnson asked Janet Swisher and I about our experience with the South By SouthWest Interactive conference in comparison to the STC Summit. Janet and I are both from Austin – though she has been here nearly 20 years and I have a mere 10 years as an Austinite. We edited the captions, so hopefully the text matches our voices. Tom did a nice job in the interview, though I don’t think it’s fair to compare the conferences even if there is crossover recently in attendees. They’re two very different conferences with different goals and different roots.
