Get to SXSW by March 11 for PubCon (March 11-13). The SXSW March 13 - 17. See you there!

How can we have the organizers go green and stop the bags full of junk? I know they need sponsors but I rather get a memory stick with the agenda and the rest of info. If other conference can do it, why not SXSW?
