Why SXSW? Why Go to Live Events Anymore?

By on March 12, 2010 in Events and Adventures

Right now I’m in SFO airport about to board a plane to Austin (via Las Vegas) for South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi).

But in the age of social media, of being able to connect with people via twitter, facebook, phone, email, skype … why do we need to go to live events at all?

Why go to seminars and conferences to learn? Why not just learn new stuff via information products and

Why do we need in real life?

Are you coming to SXSW? Make sure we find each other!!

And … what have you got out of meeting people in real life?

    Yes, I do agree that eventually someone's true character comes out. But if you meet someone IRL … it's much easier to intuit fast. Sometimes online it takes a while.

    Yes, I am actually shy IRL … it can take me a bit to warm up, so sometimes people think I'm standoffish or I don't like them. Glad you found that I warmed up for you! :)
