Thanks everyone. Also comment on who you think will be good for this. In the Web 2 Expo version, I have Kevin Ryan, Karin Klein and David S. Rose participating.

Which New Yorkers would be good for this panel at SXSWi?

This should be great both for the natives, and also those from the rest of the country who may not have been aware that New York has more tech jobs than any other region in the US, and more VCs than any region outside the Valley.

Reminds me of some of the great NYNMA conferences that I had the privilege to be a part of. This is a great forum and an opportunity for us to showcase NY.
