Tweak Your Talk (A Cranky Talk Workshop)
    Friday March 9, 2012 2:00pm - 6:00pm @ Holiday Inn Town Lake (Marigold) (20 N. IH-35, Austin, TX 78701)
    Who gives a crap that you spoke at South By Southwest? It only counts if you crush it. We created the Cranky Talk Workshops a couple of years ago in a dedicated effort to eradicate mediocre conference presentations and now we’re bringing our six-pack of kickass to Austin. If you want to test drive your SXSW panel or solo presentation in front of a critical, but highly supportive workshop audience, consider participating in this intense event. (You must sign up in advance at http://www.crankytalk.com). And if you’re speaking at another conference soon after SXSW, we can help with that, too. Just stop by during the workshop with your prepared presentation and get some Cranky one-on-one coaching. (No advance sign-up required.) What’s the deal is with all this Crankiness? Cranky means that we don't waste our time or the time of others. It means that we have no patience for bullshit so feedback is direct and blunt. You have been warned.

    Sunday March 11, 2012 5:00pm - 6:00pm @ Hilton Austin Downtown (Room 615AB) (500 E 4th St, Austin, TX 78701)
     The cloud juggernaut keeps moving into just about every aspect of business. Well here’s another one Web Access Management…or how to get the right applications to the right people at the right time. So before this whole cloud thing gets to be more of a fog; access management is important because it equals security. Want to learn more, well that’s what this meetup’s all about. A chance to get some industry gurus together as well as some people who are trying to connect the dots between the applications and users in the cloud, without the lame audience polls and death by PowerPoint. So let’s meet, let’s talk, let’s network and maybe even solve some problems about all things access: identity management, authentication, single sign-on, user management, etc. in the cloud. See you there.

    If photography is your vocation, your avocation, or simply an iPhone obsession, you won't want to miss SXSW's first-ever, day-long PhotoCamp. To give you the opportunity to meet other photo-minded folks, discuss the topics most important to you, and identify potential creative collaborators, each 60-minute PhotoCamp session will include facilitated group discussions, followed by 30 minutes of free time to connect with potential collaborators one-on-one. 9:30-10:30: What kind of collaborator am I? Improve creatively by defining your strengths and weaknesses. 11:00-12:00: Are we collaborating yet? An open discussion of collaboration models. 12:30-1:30: Everyone knows everything. Learn from others' collaboration lessons and revisit your own. 2:00-3:00: Open networking.

SOPA / PIPA / ACTA Meet Up
    Monday March 12, 2012 11:00am - 12:00pm @ Hyatt Regency Austin (Big Bend) (208 Barton Springs Rd, Austin, TX 78704)

    In Washington, there is no such thing as a sure thing. Still at one point, passing the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and PROTECT-IP (PIPA) seemed like a cakewalk. Both bills were aimed at curbing access to so-called “rogue” websites. But critics cried foul, pointing out how SOPA and PIPA would undermine internet security, compromise free expression and chill innovation. A massive internet blackout as well as millions of emails and phone calls to legislators stopped the proposals dead in their tracks. Meanwhile, the US government continued to push for adoption of the multi-national Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), which sparked massive protests across several European nations. What are the takeaways? Can the sides come together to protect intellectual property without endangering what’s great about the internet? How we answer these questions today will impact generations to come. Join us at this Meet Up for a conversation about where we might go from here.

CrossFit Meet Up
    Monday March 12, 2012 5:00pm - 6:00pm @ Palm Park (Meet Up Tent) (200 N. IH 35, Austin, TX 78701)
     First ever CrossFit Meet Up at SXSW! CrossFit is the world's fastest growing fitness phenomenon and is well suited for the SXSW festival. This is a great opportunity to meet with crossfitters from all around the world and exchange ideas regarding the business and competition. CrossFit gyms are beginning to spring up all over the globe and the community of athletes they represent grows every day. SXSW falls right in the middle of the 5 week CrossFit Games Open Competition, the preliminary stop on the road to crown the fittest man and woman alive. CrossFit, the "Sport of Fitness," has grown from 70 participants in 2007 to more than 50,000 participants in this year's Open Competition and a grand prize of $250,000. This Meet Up will provide a medium to meet new friends, business partners or fellow competitors.
