SXSW 2010–Get out the Vote!

Panelists are currently being chosen for South by Southwest, and YOU get to help decide who makes it in the lineup! This year, you get a say in ALL THREE categories–music, film, and interactive!

So many awesome people are on the roster, including our very own Nancy Duarte! You get to review all the panel proposals and use the Panel Picker to give each idea a thumbs up, or thumbs down. (Note: you will need to create an account, but it’s super simple.)

Polls close September 4th, so hurry & cast your vote!

And if you’re interested to see what Nancy is proposing… check out the following two panels:

1. From Monologue To Dialogue: Presentations, Collaboration And Sharing: Presenters now have new ways to develop and distribute content by publishing presentations to the web and devices. The impact a presentation can have has been heightened by the tipping point created by Al Gore’s presentation and the skyrocketing success of TED.com. Learn how collaboration, social networking and design are amplifying the value of a great presentation.
2. Step Out of the Office: The nature of work is changing. Whether it’s face-to-face or tech-to-tech, cultural and technological trends are raising the bar for meeting and communication effectiveness. How do you get people engaged and collaborating effectively? We’ll discuss which models and technologies are most effective — and which are most likely to fail.
