Bristol visits SXSW
March 17, 2008
Posted by Clare in: Innovation | Ideas | Technology | bristol | Add a commentLast 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.

• Someone who owns their own business
• A grandfather or a grandmother
• A student

• A couple with a new baby
If you are Bristol based, come under any of the above categories and are willing to be interviewed for about an hour and half, please drop Gill an email or give her a call on 07966 209 615
Research from your interview will inform Plot as to how they can design things that will make what you are doing now either better, or easier in the future and what people do to make themselves happy.
