South By Southwest (SXSW) has grown well beyond its garage band roots into a 9-day, music, film, and tech extravaganza — with artists, filmmakers, and entrepreneurs travelling from around the world to put their fingers on the pulse of global creativity.
As part of the SXSW organizers’ emphasis on this diverse community, they instituted the PanelPicker — a way for the SXSW audience to help choose the programming they enjoy at the festival. After proposals for everything from panels to demos are submitted, the public is given an opportunity to vote on them and thereby crowdsource the material they most want to see.
This year, our Indiegogo team is especially excited about four panels for SXSW 2013, which include Indiegogo co-founders and campaigners. Even if you’re not planning to attend, help us educate SXSW’s creative crowd about the power of crowdfunding by checking out the links below, giving your vote, and telling your friends!
