Your SXSW Wish is Our Command

Load up the station wagon, we’re heading east to South by Southwest!  This weekend a bunch of the Causemedia Group gang will be invading Austin along with a few thousand others, determined to see absolutely everything before they collapse from exhaustion and too much barbecue.  (Is there such a thing as too much barbecue?)

Chris Noble, Joey Leslie, and Kerrie LeBourveau will be there along with our pal, Mark Horvath who’ll be chatting with social media types in the Beacon Lounge every morning.  If you’re going to be in town, give us a tweet and say hello.  Stop into the Beacon Lounge and join us for a cup of coffee.  Or, if you can’t make it this weekend, drop us a line here at WhatGives!? and tell us what you want us to check out for you.  Friday through Monday there are dozens of great interactive media-related panels and seminars.  Which ones do you want to hear about?  Net Wits Think Tank has a great post on some that are directly related to nonprofits.  Any of those interest you?

And don’t forget Mark.  You may know him as @hardlynormal and the driving force behind invisiblepeople.tv, but this weekend he’ll be the charming host of a morning conversation (10:30-11am, CST) with some great social media influencers.  Whether you’re in Austin or half-way ’round the world, you can watch on our WhatGives!? Ustream channel.

Saturday, March 13

Sunday, March 14

Monday, March 15

So, whaddya wanna ask ‘em?  Go on, think about it for a minute.  If you could chat with any of these folks, what would be your first question?  Now, quick, write it down in the comments below.  If you want to know, we want to know.  Basically, when it comes to SXSW and you, we can’t wait to hear WhatGives!?

.

WhatGives!? and Mark Horvath would like to give a special shout out and thank you to Radar Multimedia and Portnoy Media Group for making the live broadcast from the Beacon Lounge possible.

    Beth, in your opinion, what non-profit does a top-notch job in the social media/online community/blogging space, and what are they doing well?

    Hi, CJ!
    I’ve passed your question on to Mark Horvath to include in his interview with Beth on Monday. We’ll be live streaming at 10:30am (Texas time!) if you want to watch.
