To Survive SXSW

#MustHave #Mobile #CoolApp #SXSWi

“My top conference app is Snapchat, to keep in touch with my teenagers back home, because I won't have a chance to talk to them. Snapchat is a surprisingly great parenting tool. :) “

Ann Handley @MarketingProfsChief Content Officer at MarketingProfs

1. Snapchat

2. Google Maps

“At SXSW, it isn’t the conference where the action is, but the networking

events. As you’re rushing from one event to the other, the most

invaluable tool is Google Maps – finding those restaurants and bars can

be hard work!”

Brett King @brettkingFounder/CEO of Moven | Host of Breaking Banks Radio

Author | American Banker Innovator of the Year

“Swarm lets me know where the events and parties are at, who has checked into which locations, especially info on many of the unofficial events/parties at SXSW.“

Calvin Lee @mayhemstudiosPrincipal & Creative Director at Mayhem Studios

Award-winning designer and brand strategist

3. Swarm

4. Yahoo! News Digest

“Yahoo's latest News Digest App...keeps you up to

date while waiting in line”

Colin Kinsella @colinkinsellaCEO Mindshare North America

“Uber will be fully functional at SXSWi. Austin gets

everything right except for the taxi's being able to

handle the volume.“Erik Qualman @equalman

Motivational Speaker | Digital Dale Carnegie

Digital Leadership and Disruptive Innovation

5. Uber

“The SXSW app for sure. But also get AirPnP:

‘cause you just have to go.“

Jeffrey Hayzlett @JeffreyHayzlettPrimetime TV & Radio Host | Keynote Speaker

6. AirPnP

“With TextUp I can send multiple personal texts –instead of lame group SMS – to all my contacts I want to hit up to meet later or check on what's hot at SXSW.”

Jessica Miller-Merrell @jmillermerrellHR, Tech, &HHR Tech & Workplace Futurist Digital Strategist

7. TextUp

“To connect all of your social media accounts in one place so that you can see where your friends are -- and what they are doing.”

Heather Meeker Haas @heathermeekerFounder, MeekerQuinn

Global Marketing and Communications Consultancy

8. Connect

“GroupMe: to stay in touch with the people that you want to connect with. An industry colleague puts together a pre-defined list that’s shared in a Facebook group before the event.”

Scott Monty @ScottMontyEVP Strategy, Shift Communications

9. GroupMe

”I’ve been using ConnectUp’s beta, and I tell you, it is a powerful little app. Before arriving at SXSW, make sure you let your network know where you'll be. You'll be surprised at the level of engagement when you send personalized messages in bulk.”

Ted Elliott @tedelliottCEO Jobscience | Salesforce Ecosystem Guru | Cloud Entrepreneur | Recruiting Tech

10. ConnectUp

“In recent years, I've used twitter and foursquare a ton

at SXSW... ditched email and Facebook... but i'm not

normal. I tend to just go to a place, hang and whoever

comes, comes... instead of chasing the cool kids.“William Tincup @williamtincup

Principal Analyst at KeyInterval | HR Technology Oracle | Long Beard Wearer

11. FourSquare

“I find twitter pretty useful during SXSW chaotic times.

Hashtags allow me to see trends real-time, and DM

works better than SMS for private conversations with

friends.”

Yiying Lu @YiyingLuWorld Renown Designer | Creative Director | Twitter Whale Artist
