Having never been to SXSW before I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. It’s safe to say that it was more full on than I had imagine but incredibly inspiring and full of amazing people that I feel really honoured and lucky to have met and gotten to know.

Together with day three this day topped my SXSW visit. It was the last day but the events I went to were brilliant, inspiring and informative and as on all of the other days, in between and after the talks, the day was filled with great conversations with amazing people.

So, day three was brilliant and the parties were great. Day four was not, at least not the day itself. The lack of sleep was getting to me and so was the drinking and it meant that that my attention span was a bit compromised and I felt very uncomfortable.

I’ve taken it fairly easy over at SXSW not stressing over attending all of the sessions but going to the ones I really wanted to see. Some have been good. Some have been very poor leaving you with nothing but a “Was that it?”, but Sunday was not one of

Day two of SXSW was mainly spent in the Hilton going to technology talks and startup related events. Contrary to day one where the panel I attended wasn’t very helpful there were two panels that were insightful on this day.

Day one of SXSW was very wet and cold but a good trial of what to attend and what not to attend. We met some lovely new people and caught up with people we met the day before as well as organised meet ups for when we are in NYC

We’ve been in Austin less than 24 hours and already we’ve met some lovely people and had things fall into place. It’s a great first start and tomorrow the conference kicks off.

Yesterday was the first time I missed writing a post on the day. Travel had a little to do with it but I’m happy to say that I am now in Austin.
