Hey people . . . . what are you waiting for? Why not act now to get in on the savings? Friday, September 26 is the final day to register to attend the event at just $375. After today, the price increases to $400 (and the eventual walkup price is $495). Moreover, the sooner you register, the more likely you can get a hotel room that is close to the Austin Convention Center. Yes, convenient lodging is always a hot commodity in March — the Hampton Inn has already sold out for the March 13-17 time period. So, save yourself some money and save yourself some hassle by registering today!

On Thursday, October 2, the first batch of panel programming for the 2009 SXSW Interactive Festival will be announced on this website. Look for us to release between 60-80 titles on this day — which represents about one-third of the total programming for next spring’s event. More panel info will be announced throughout the month. Meanwhile, we remind you of the three fantastic speakers that have already been announced for SXSW 2009 — Tony Hsieh of Zappos will deliver Opening Remarks on Saturday afternoon, March 14, while Chris Anderson and Guy Kawasaki will engage in a keynote conversation on Tuesday afternoon, March 17.
