okay, who is "yahoo careers" and how did they take the event I added, and mess up the name/title - making it the "music" event instead of Interactive?

Looks like it was accidentally merged. I let the team know, and I'm sure it'll get cleared up tomorrow.

roo wrote:

I've sent a message to 'yahoo careers' asking them to remove "Music" from the title. I guess you've done the same, Bill?

By the way, Yahoo people, I don't think it's cool to take an event that one of your users added, attach your own name to it and mess around with the name in the process. Not cool at all.

Well, I wasn't really upset about it. I was just curious what happened. Looks like they've changed the title, though instead of being Interactive only, it's for the whole conference. No worries.

That's lame, because I keep having to explain to my boss that I'm not going to a music festival on the company dime, I'm going to an interactive conference. This event description does not help my case.

Can we switch this back to Interactive only? There is already an event for the Music portion; and we can add one for Film, too. Having this one event be for the whole thing messes up my calendar as the dates are different for all three portions of the conference.

Are you one of the rare nonprofit* attendees @ SXSWi this year? Hit me up and I'll invite you to our seeeeecret google group where we're saving the world. And stuff.

*Please note that here I am using nonprofit in the do-gooder sense, rather than the my-startup-isn't yet-profitable sense. Right-o. If you're interested in saving the world, whether or not your danged startup is profitable, posse up.

As for tips - don't plan, and talk to as many people as possible. And if you are a germ-a-phobe bring some spray hand sanitizer you will be meeting 100's of people! Bring lots of water as well with you. By the end of conference you can easily loose your voice!
