SXSW Interactive without going to SXSW

Wednesday, 19 January 2011 by Paul O'Brien

New to Austin and building a business, the last thing I want to do is pay the hefty (but worthy) rate to attend the conference itself. While SXSWi is one of the best Interactive events of the year, simply, I have work to do. That said, while the conference generally is not to be missed,
