Pick Your Panels – SXSW 2016
I spent some time voting on SXSW panel proposals. Here are some I hope you will check out and provide support by using the thumbs up, recommending with the heart and leaving a comment. It’s easy to set up a login to get in the system, and you can use your FB or Twitter login to leave comments. Viewing the SXSW proposals is a good way to identify the digital trends. I see lots about data, virtual reality, analytics… of course mobile and social are still big. There’s stuff about sports, Gen Z is coming up and lots about startups, innovation and design thinking.

TXST students from my SXTXState course who submitted panels. These students are very passionate about their topics, so I hope you will check them out. They both made great videos:
http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/50306 – Reimagining LGBT Communities in the Digital Age by Becky Larson.
http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/52897 – Art and Science: Investigate the Universe to the Soul by Carl Clark.
http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/52852 – Selling Your Podcast Without Selling Your Soul by Sara Peralta. She was a student in our program and did the SXTXState not once, but twice! She works at NPR now, so has some great experience with this topic.
Update: http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/54369 Didn’t notice that TXST grad Anna Tauzin is also on a panel proposal. From Palate to Plate: Defining a Taste Platform.
TXST faculty:
