Just thought I’d share a little of my noobie experience at SXSW Interactive (and Austin, Texas - and Texas in general). The arrangements were made in the 11th hour, so I expect my experience from a logistics perspective will be a bit outside average. My conference registration, flight and accommodations were booked yesterday (March 9, three days before the start of SXSW 2010)… from what I’ve heard the city is pretty much booked up and the accomplishment of the trip being organized at such a late hour is by all accounts a testament to the miraculous abilities of our admin officer and her travel agent husband.
So here I am in the midst of a twelve hour travel day which will take me from Victoria to Calgary to Chicago and, finally, Austin. I’m going to arrive two days before the conference and will have all day tomorrow to make my way down to the conference space to check in. Which is great if you don’t consider the two days work I had to cram into one day before leaving the office. Anyway, I'm hoping to get some sightseeing and a bit of rest in. Judging from the schedule on the SXSW website I'm going to need all the rest I can get - the next few days are going to be busy!
