South by Southwest is an amazing opportunity to connect with your audience as a speaker to make interesting connections and form new relationships across lots of different fields and generally have an amazing time.

It was a super valuable experience. It was also my first experience at South by Southwest. First of all, I now understand why Twitter and Airbnb use South by Southwest to take off. I also learned that like talking to people 90% of the direct to consumer startups today use waiting lists to launch. And at the same time, it was a great opportunity to meet all coworkers coming into town and being originally from Europe was cool to see so many European professional coming to Austin for this event. It really gives you the value of this festival and this conference. And generally, I guess opportunities at South by Southwest are everywhere.
