Speaking Opportunities at the 2008 SXSW Interactive Festival

Panel proposals for the 2008 SXSW Interactive Festival were accepted from June 1 through July 20. All proposals submitted during this timeframe were then posted on the SXSW Panel Picker, a unique interface that allows the online public to give direct feedback on the programming for next spring. More than 700 amazing ideas from across the United States and around the world were showcased via this interface. Voting for the SXSW Panel Picker opened on August 20 and closed on September 21

In other words, the window for submitting ideas for the 2008 SXSW Interactive Festival is pretty much closed. But, never say never -- so if you want to send us a proposal for the waiting list, then please follow these simple guidelines. Also, submitting a proposal for the waiting list means that we will have your e-mail and will notify you next spring when we start accepting ideas for the 2009 event. Or, keep posted on the panel process by subscribing to the monthly e-mail newsletter.

For any panel-related questions, please e-mail interpanels at sxsw dot com.

Finally, for information on the sponsored panel room for the 2008 SXSW Interactive Festival, contact Katie King. As of early December, there were still a few open slots in this sponsored panel room.
