The south by southwest interactive festival brings together uber-geeks, tech entrepreneurs, and digital innovators from around the world for four days of keynote speeches, Trade Show, panels, parties and assorted evening fun. Now in its thirteenth year, this is the event where the web's most creative minds share their ideas about how interactive technology will shape our future.
According to the sales and marketing pdf, the music festival is twice as big as the interactive.. (10,000 attendees vs 5,000)
But of course on upcoming.org, the perspective is a little different..

Just wanted to let you know that the Ruby On Rails community is gathering at Buffalo Billiards again this year for a festive Happy Hour to kick off your Monday evening!
I'm flying out at 10:15h on Friday morning from Heathrow. Give me a shout if you're on the same flight so we can start the fun and games at the airport!
This will be my first year attending the interactive part or any of it for that matter. I'm driving down from Dallas. Don't know a single person going so it ought to be interesting.
The Viddler team is trying to meet as many vloggers and artists as possible. Introduce yourself beforehand and guarantee yourself a free Viddler.com t-shirt.
If you, like me, pick your panels as much by speaker as by topic and have found it difficult to do that on the official sxsw.com site, check it out: a searchable schedule for SXSWi 2007.
