SXSW 2010
For those of you wondering, SXSW = South by Southwest, a geek/music/film fest – party-hearty-until-you-drop trade show & conference. The entire SXSW ‘show’ starts today, 3/12 and continues through 3/21. I’m here for the geek sessions – better known here as the Interactive segment, which runs from 3/12 to 3/16. The Film segment also begins today and continues through 3/20. Music is the one that started it all in 1987, and that segment begins on 3/17 and closes the show on 3/21. (Interactive and Film were added in 1994.)
Interesting stats – SXSW Interactive Registrants.
Still – there’s an estimated 20,000 registrants PLUS all the people who come in just for the zoo.
As far as the Interactive segment goes, here’s an interesting stat – and the one that doesn’t surprise me at all and the reason for my previous post. <sigh>
SXSW Survey Question: “How old are you?”
- 20 or under: 1%
- 21 to 30: 34%
- 31 to 40: 44%
- 41 to 50: 16%
- 51 or older: 5% <—-Yours Truly :-\
The official SXSW Interactive sessions start in an hour. I’m off to find lunch.
Head held high – shoulders back… here I go.
