SXSWi: Parting Thoughts

by Patrick Ruffini :: March 13th, 2007 3:46 pm

I’m sitting on a quick (30 minute) session on mobile. I’ll be heading back to D.C. tonight.

Just finished my panel on net politics and it was one of the better ones I’ve been involved with. It was ideologically balanced with myself and Mark SooHoo (McCain) for the Republicans and Texas State Rep. Mark Strama (the moderator) and Clay Johnson (Blue State Digital/Obama) for the Dems. Strama has a very interesting story. He was an Internet entrepreneur turned politician who probably has the most technically sophisticated approach to field organization I’ve ever seen from a local candidate. I’ll post links from any coverage of the event.

One general observation about this conference and others. Conference attendees are always the perfect stereotype for the demographic being represented. Whether it’s techies, conservatives, or sales guys… this is always true.

Austin is a very cool town but probably has the worst designed convention center I’ve ever been in.
