Play Werewolf (Game) Like a Mother Killing Pro

Friday March 9, 2012 2:00pm - 6:00pm @ Palm Park (Presentation Tent) (200 N. IH 35, Austin, TX 78701)

Werewolf, a variation of the Mafia game, is spreading like wildfire in the tech social circles. We've hosted overnight games in secret in the past at SXSW, but this time, we want to get more people involved. The game is the great equalizer. Though deceit, honesty, and raw powers of reasoning, you can get to know amazing people and build great friendships. This panel with long-time Werewolf players will teach you the basic rules, the best practices (yes, there are best practices even for a game), and how to host the game yourself. Come to SXSWi and leave with an amazing tool to build great experiences forever. Trust me, I'm a villager.

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.

And I Am NOT Lying at SXSW: From Basement Burlesque to the Boardroom

Saturday March 10, 2012 11:00am - 12:00pm @ Palm Park (Colorado) (750 E. 3rd street)

Storytelling is both the second-oldest art form and a hot "new" form of entertainment — thanks to This American Life, The Moth's podcast and live shows, and tons of shows cropping up around the country, storytelling's making a big comeback. It's making a comeback in the boardroom, too. And if we are honest with ourselves, it's just about to join "leverage" in the marketing d-bag's haggard sack of buzzwords. "Leverage storytelling to activate your customers," "learn story techniques," — you're going to hear a LOT of that at SXSW this year.

All you needed was a place to rest your weary head after a long day of panels and parties. This year it may have taken a bit longer than normal to find that place. How can we help SX, the residents of Austin and businesses prepare better for the onslaught of people descending on their town for the conference? More hotels? Less badges? More campsites? Come discuss the troubles you had trying to find a place to sleep and lets brainstorm some solutions.

Saturday March 10, 2012 12:00pm - 1:00pm @ Palm Park (Colorado) (750 E. 3rd street)

You'll learn the rewarding art of creative play, how to surprise yourself and yank your inner comic out of the closet. In this workshop, you'll learn how much fun it can be to say "yes" to everything, to stop being ashamed of your own ideas and to easily improvise a hilarious comic scene. Discover how letting go actually provides you with great control in seemingly crazy situations (applicable to daily life, guaranteed). Coached by Eliza Skinner.

Sunday March 11, 2012 11:00am - 12:00pm @ Holiday Inn Town Lake (Marigold) (20 N. IH-35, Austin, TX 78701)

Mobile applications have changed the way users engage content, view advertising, communicate with one another and relate to products, brands and services. The Apps Alliance, a newly formed trade group for developers, will host a discussion on where we are and where we are going as a development community. The goal will be to better understand the value chain of mobile app development - before you set out to build the next great mobile app, you need to know where to start and where to finish? Our panel of experts from Samsung, BlueVia and Twilio will try to answer that and other questions.

Large Enterprise Social Media Professionals, Unite!

Sunday March 11, 2012 12:30pm - 1:30pm @ InterContinental Stephen F. Austin (Boardroom) (701 Congress Ave., Austin, TX 78701)

The social media challenges of a large enterprise are unique from those of a startup. For example: what are often "simple" person-to-person tasks at a startup do not necessarily scale when they are administered in a company of over 1,000 employees. This meetup is designed to bring both employees of large enterprises, as well as the agencies who work with them, together to share advice, tips and make connections.

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.

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.
