	Yes No	IdeaName IdeaPresenterFirstname IdeaPresenterLastname, IdeaCompany Figure that most SXSW attendees have an intermediate or advanced level of expertise in their field. ... READ MORE Figure that most SXSW attendees have an intermediate or advanced level of expertise in their field. But, the "in their field" are probably the most important words in that sentence. So, if you are going to propose a beginner-level session for the PanelPicker, your best bet is to focus on a field most attendees are not familiar with. For instance, "Web Development 101: How to Build Your Site" probably doesn't make sense for SXSW Interactive. But, "Bee-Keeping 101: What Honey Farmers Can Teach us About the Web" would probably draw a big crowd. No, you do not need to have other speakers confirmed when you submit your panel idea. In fact, we strongly prefer that you do NOT confirm these other speakers until your panel idea is accepted -- because SXSW staff will want to work closely with you to make sure there is sufficient diversity of gender, geography, race and opinion on your session.
