Good one, but this panel really needs to be at the beginning of the first day or risk being irrelevant.

Dave - ya, it would be beneficial at the beginning for sure, but still relevant if not b/c Music after Interactive/Film.
Dave Gray

True. Still I hope they put it at the beginning

Nice. You've got my vote. But you must promise not to pass out Zicam to the crowd. ;) Even Topspin-branded Zicam.

Apparently, Zicam can actually make you lose your sense of smell!

I think it's very important to discuss the incubation period :)

Wait so I can blame SXSW for my cancer and not my cancer for my cancer?

Every year it strikes, seemingly without warning, but shouldn't we know better by now? Last year I missed my flight home because I couldn't figure out what time it was. (checking the e-ticket never occurred to me.) Anyway, great topic!
