SXSW Interactive Opens PanelPicker Voting Late Summer 2014

This past week, Pixe entered the PanelPicker for the SXSW Interactive Festival Sessions.

The 22nd Annual SXSW Interactive Festival will be held on March 13 – March 17, 2015 in Austin, TX. Known in the SXSW community as an “incubator of cutting edge technologies and digital creativity,: this festival combines technology, entrepreneurship, networking, and social programs. Compared to the smaller SXSW V2V that Pixe attended in mid-July, Interactive attracts over 30,000 attendees and industry-influencers.

Pixe’s discussion will focus on solving the challenges brands face in using social media to reach their potential customers. Technology consumers are recording their favorite television shows and fast-forwarding through any commercials, so how can brands reach their fans in this non-traditional atmosphere? Nowadays, individuals feel strongly against having any advertisements or pop-ups interfering with their down-time spent on Facebook or Twitter. Brands want to create a meaningful connection with their potential customers without appearing as overbearing or obnoxious. Pixe will discuss the ways brands can seamlessly integrate their marketing efforts within their fans’ social networks.

We invite you to take part in voting for us to present during the SXSW Interactive Sessions. Starting on August 11, 2014 and ending September 5, 2014, SXSW opens voting on Interactive Sessions to the public community. All you have to do to vote is create an account with the PanelPicker. To keep our fans informed, we will actively post updates and commentary about our session during the voting period.
