Dave Delaney, Digital Marketing Consultant at Delaney Digital Marketing Consulting@David Thanks for the comment. Yes, be sure to thank staff and volunteers. :) Sorry I missed the news about the swag bags until after I made this deck. The good news is that those who don't know will plan a little extra time to go back to their hotels, but instead will now be able to attend or throw a quick meetup or lunch. It'll all work out.
KUDOS to SXSW for getting rid of the swag bags this year. Those things were insane.2 years ago
