Bristol visits SXSW

March 17, 2008

Posted by Clare in: Innovation | Ideas | Technology | Bristol | Trackback

Last week I headed to the South by South West Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas, with four other digital agencies from Bristol. The Festival celebrates the creativity and passion behind the coolest new media technologies and featured keynote talks and panel sessions covering everything from web design to bootstrapping to social networks.

Traveling with Mike Bennett of Bristol Media, Benjamin Hostler of Beef, Hazel Grian of Licorice Media and Andy Parkhouse of Team Rubber, our mission was to research new business opportunities, spot emerging digital trends and explore what Bristol can learn from one of the biggest international conferences and festivals of the year.

The hot topics at the Festival were mobile, creativity, collaboration and ARGs (with Hazel of Licorice being recognised across the Festival for her MeiGeist ARG). You can read our blog, which covers general impressions of the Festival and some detailed notes on events, here.
