SXSW for Newbies

Welcome to my page dedicated to SXSW Newbies and those who just plain ole want to hear tips from folks who have taken that journey to Austin.

An event like SXSW can be pretty overwhelming if you are not careful so I’ve pull together some resources that I think you would find helpful.  When you are done watching the videos, don’t forget to sign-up for my monthly newsletter where I provide information for young professionals and entrepreneurs who want personal and professional development tips. 

Unfortunately, I can’t make it out to SXSW but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t benefit from some of the work I’ve been putting together.  I have a webinar recording and several videos that you will find helpful.  I will update this page each day with new information as you head to SXSW so come back often.

 

Webinar resource

Here is a pretty cool webinar resource that promises to help you really get ready for your conference.  It covers how to get focused, engage people before the conference so you  know a few people before you get to Austin, tips for the conference day(s) and how to have phenominal follow-up.  This is created by yours turly and can be found here:
“Hashtags To Handshakes: The New Art of Conference Networking”
