There are infinite possible experiences. Each person has their own.

More than 10 official locations all over town. + several unofficial activities.

Page 11: SxSW 2014: some of what I’ve learned during my first time there

I arrived there with a lot of excitement...

Page 12: SxSW 2014: some of what I’ve learned during my first time there

Why so many simultaneous activities?

What if I miss something that I really want to attend?

Isn’t it too much?

What if I waste too much time in line and miss relevant stuff?

What about the concerts and parties? Is it work or skipping work?

What do music and movies have to do with tech?

Will I get useful and relevant knowledge?

Is it worth all the investment?

But wondering a few things…

Page 13: SxSW 2014: some of what I’ve learned during my first time there

It’s a transforming experience. Not a sum of diverse presentations.

Presentations and panels are ways to hear new issues and interesting info.

But they are also triggers to start conversations with random people.

Page 19: SxSW 2014: some of what I’ve learned during my first time there

Meeting people and hearing their stories > the best of the SxSW experience.

Some of the world’s brightest minds in technology and marketing are there.

It’s not about exchanging business cards. It’s about having a drink and hanging out like good old friends.

Learning #2

Chaos is an essential part of the SxSW experience.

Page 82: SxSW 2014: some of what I’ve learned during my first time there

Championship • SXSW Music Gear Expo • Next Stage • Taco Meet Ups

• Flatstock 48 • Future of TV Sessions • Convergence Day • Convergence Meet Ups • SXSW Comedy • Future15s • Film Screenings • SXSW Film Awards • Design Awards

Page 83: SxSW 2014: some of what I’ve learned during my first time there

Opportunity to hang out with really bright people from different industries. And to listen to their incredible stories.

Page 84: SxSW 2014: some of what I’ve learned during my first time there

It might be hard for some business people to understand that. But the music festival is as productive as the interactive one.

It's worth spending a few more days in Austin.

Page 85: SxSW 2014: some of what I’ve learned during my first time there

Learning #5

Is attending SxSW a good business / career investment?

Page 86: SxSW 2014: some of what I’ve learned during my first time there

The festival ‘keeps happening’ when you are home > articles, videos, conversations, new friends, new opportunities, new ideas.

Page 87: SxSW 2014: some of what I’ve learned during my first time there

But in order to spread and help create the future, nothing is better than really

experiencing it – even for a few days.

Page 88: SxSW 2014: some of what I’ve learned during my first time there

Neither than really spending time with those who are already creating the future.

Page 89: SxSW 2014: some of what I’ve learned during my first time there

Afterwards, some information will be great for talking to

friends.

You will forget a lot of what you hear there.

Some learnings will be good for presentations like this

one.

But there’s a small part that will help you make real

difference.

Page 90: SxSW 2014: some of what I’ve learned during my first time there

Why so many simultaneous activities?

What if I miss something that I really want to attend?

Isn’t it too much?

What if I waste too much time in line and miss relevant stuff?

What about the concerts and parties? Is it work or skipping work?

What do music and movies have to do with tech?

Will I get useful and relevant knowledge?

Is it worth all the investment (particularly for Brazilians)?

Getting back to my previous questions…
