"In its 22 years, SXSW has grown from a tiny music festival in the Texas capital into a massive, unavoidable media beast that reflects, discusses and showcases trends in culture and media but also often creates them." National Post, 3/13/08
Given the massive surge we have seen today on the SXSW Interactive Panel Picker voting interface, we have decided to keep the polls open through the Labor Day weekend.
Votes and comments will be accepted through 11:59 pm on Monday, September 1 -- so you should have a little more time to browse the 1300+ proposals that have been submitted for the 2009 Interactive event.
Also, if all goes as planned, we should be making the first round of programming announcements (i.e., accepted ideas) in early October. Happy voting, Happy Labor Day, Happy SXSW Interactive.
