For those that are not aware of SXSW otherwise known as South by Southwest, this is a one big art, music, films, and emerging technology party, I mean event to dazzle all your senses and stimulate your mind. It is held in the awesomely unique Austin Texas.

The SXSW Panel Picker opened and Autodesk has submitted. selected to be accepted and at SXSW they need to be voted on by the community (that’s you).

Voting is open until August 31 and accounts for 30% in deciding SXSW programming. The SXSW Advisory Board (a group of industry experts from around the world) accounts for 40%, and the SXSW staff makes up the remaining 30%.

Please create an account and place your vote to have this great Autodesk panel lineup present at SXSW in March 2013!

Autodesk Submitted Panels:

Innovation Genome Project: Secret of Innovation

Bill O’Connor – One of the greatest writers and speakers Autodesk has, especially on innovation. I am not just saying that because I am a colleague and in the same CTO office, I really mean it. He is practically our executive staff go to guy on writing and assisting on speeches. He is also one of the funniest ad-lib guys around and way to fast and clever on the comebacks, and even does impersonations. Give Bill a hard time for me on Twitter at @OConnorAutodesk or better yet just follow what he is working on.

Use Your Idea to Shake Things Up at Your Company

Chris Cheung - You know only one of two people to be on the Apple iPad 3 launch event stage with a new Autodesk application SketchBook Ink.

How to Turn Your Hobby Into A Full-Time Job

Eric Wilhelm – Master of Instructables.com, the one place to learn how to make anything from Skittles Vodka to a robot.

New Opportunities for Hardware Innovators

David Lang, OpenROV; Mark Hatch, TechShop; Jesse Harrington, Autodesk – These guys are Makers, nothing more to be said except they make and help others build cool sh,t!

I am not going to beg, but please consider registering to vote and selecting the Autodesk panels thumbs up vote.

Cheers,
Shaan
