All, a reminder that today March 12, 2012, we are having 2 Mobile Monday Austin events:
1) At noon, we will be hosting a lunch/networking event for SXSWers to meet Austin mobile companies. This is at the Alcatel-Lucent trend lounge (room 406 at the Hilton) for some food and networking.
2) Then at 6pm at Fogo de Chao is the Mobile Monday Austin social.
Hope to see you there!

So we are a week or so away from SXSW Interactive 2012.
I am super excited, as always.
And per tradition, the Mobile Monday Austin board (Carlo Longino, David Gill, Michael Yuan, Mario OCampo, Bart Bohn, and yours truly, C. Enrique Ortiz) are excited to once again organize the Mobile Monday Austin SXSWi social.
SXSW Interactive is here!
Very cool…
The panels/sessions are looking great, the parties and the get together… And the weather is perfect.
From the various cool panels, to the Monks of Invention, Mobile Future 15, to MobileMonday Austin and many others, hope to see you around!
Ping me if you are at Interactive @eortiz (Twitter).

For the last number of months I’ve been curating the SXSWi Mobile Future 15 panel. This is a special kind of short-form panel content, fast-paced sessions, each title reflecting one 12-minute solo speaking slot, which is followed by a short, three-minute break before the next speaker begins his or her presentation. These proved to be very popular with attendees during 2010.
So I am very happy to announce the SXSWi 2011 Mobile Future15
When? Monday, March 14, 3:30-6pm.
Great topics and speakers:

One of the cool things about helping judge/select the mobile sessions for SXSW Interactive Festival is that it is like taking the pulse of the Mobile industry — how the mobile industry and technologists feel about the state of things.
This year’s mobility and new technology submissions show how Geo & Social, AR and Big-Data continue to evolve and are key technology areas in the mind of many mobile technologists and marketers alike; a not surprising trend. Some NFC/RFID and barcodes came up. And the topics of native vs. web continues but not as strong, same with Flash, perhaps indicating native as the preferred approach to mobile apps, at least for now.
A lot of very good sessions this year; it was a bit tough to choose… congrats to all who submitted.
