Conference report by contributing editor Gary Moskoff...

South by Southwest, SXSW, the original un-conference, is like nothing I have experienced before.

This was my first year attending and I was warned that it was going to be something different. To truly experience the conference, many said to follow the @SXSWparty feed on twitter and that I'd find all the parties, but that was not the case. One had to really think outside the box and do a lot of research to find the right parties to attend.

For instance, one of my favorites included the Skype party, a mix of bands and DJ's performed, the party itself was a lot of fun, but I was most impressed by the way they included the audience in the show by live streaming individuals dancing around the perimeters of the show and then using the imagery in real time on the big screen as visuals to enhance the overall experience for all to enjoy. I also enjoyed the Warner Brothers show where LP and the Punch Brothers stole the show for me!
