Indiegogo SXSW 2015

SXSW 2015 is coming up quicker than we can catch our breath and that’s a good thing!

Each summer, SXSW puts a call out through their PanelPicker process, to all of their fans and thought leaders to shape the content experience for the upcoming year. Now we are calling on you to get us there next year.

There are a ton of new things we’re excited about and we can’t wait to share them first and exclusively at SXSW.

For this year’s PanelPicker, we have put panels together that showcase successful Indiegogo campaign owners such as Rooster Teeth, Marvell, and SpaceIL. We have also partnered to be on panels with organizations such as Elle Magazine, ITVS, Sundance and Fallon to share how Indiegogo’s funding model is shaping the future of finance across multiple industries.

This year’s SXSW was epic and we need your help to make next year even better.

End to Brogramming? How Women are Shaping Tech

Is tech hostile to females? How are women in tech changing the “brogrammer” culture? What will the future look like as more women enter this career space?

Pitch Event: Storytelling for Crowdfunding Ideas

This event will feature emerging entrepreneurs pitching their ideas to an eclectic panel including Shannon Swallow, VP of Marketing Communications at Indiegogo, Fallon’s Chief Creative officer Jeff Kling, and successful entrepreneur Dean Phillips.

Tech + The Maker Movement: Destroying the Paradigm

The power of technology combined with the spreading maker movement is shifting the axis of power in the consumer goods game. With 3D printers available in Home Depot, and Indiegogo powering campaigns across 57 countries, it’s no longer about what people can afford to make; it’s about what people can dare to dream up. No longer do we have to rely on the elite minority to decide what will be produced and available in the mass market, and the mass market is taking notice. Thought leaders in crowdfunding, the maker community, and tech-powered consumer goods talk about flipping consumerism on its head.
