SXSWi fest-goers share their schedules
In today’s XL, we ran a story featuring four South by Southwest Interactive attendees sharing highlights from their schedules, including panels, parties and other events.
We asked them to use sxsw2009.sched.org, a tool we really like for keeping track of your events during the fest and seeing what other people are doing. There are certainly other tools like this including my.sxsw.com and Festival Genius. But Sched.org was a big hit last year and, especially for unofficial events, I’ve found it to be my go-to tool.
You can find my full schedule (subject to change) at http://sxsw2009.sched.org/omarg.
Patrick Nichols and Christine Lu.)
We shot videos with each of the them and you can see them talk about their festival picks below:
The Austin festival vet: Jon Lebkowsky
Jon Lebkowsky has attended every South by Southwest Interactive Festival since it began. This year, he’ll be a host at a large SXSWi party, Plutopia, at the Palmer Events Center and is also on a panel. The social Web strategist is always interested in how communities grow online as well as electronic freedom issues. You can find his full Sched.org schedule here.
The platinum badge-carrying corporate strategist by day, music freelance writer by night: Patrick Nichols
Patrick Nichols is a senior content strategist at Razorfish Inc., but for the festival he’ll also be working as a freelance music journalist for the official SXSWorld Magazine and his Web site, This Is Texas Music.

The job seeker: Cameron Houser
A marketing specialist pursuing an MBA at UT’s McCombs School of Business who has done projects for IC2 and C3 Presents, Cameron Houser is looking at job opportunities at SXSW Interactive.

The jet-setting SXSW newbie: Christine Lu
