However, if you were there on your company dime, then technically you were working right? Which would mean that in the end it is work after-all and therefore can be whatever you make of it, right? To each his own, I'm sure some people find the event beneficial while others only see it as a waste of time and money and each for their very own reasons. I would love to hear more as to why you feel the way you do.... @Griffin – I apologize that my outlook bores you.

To each his own, I’m sure some people find the event beneficial while others only see it as a waste of time and money and each for their very own reasons.

I would love to hear more as to why you feel the way you do….

You've hit on the crazy, chaotic diversity of learning and socializing that makes SXSW Interactive a unique experience. I also think you hit a really solid point on the head: SXSW is what you make of it. I see the value that continues to draw huge attendance, and I understand the disillusionment expressed by many who think that SXSWi has lost it's edginess. Whether you attend every session, or whether you skip sessions to catch a catch up with industry colleagues from across the country, the event draws leading thinkers who want to share and expand their knowledge. Tapping into that knowledge sharing to spur new ideas and formulate meaningful connections is the responsibility of each attendee. @Courtney thanks for providing a first-timer’s perspective.
