The South by Southwest (SXSW) Conferences & Festivals offer the unique convergence of original music, independent films, and emerging technologies. Fostering creative and professional growth alike, SXSW is the premier destination for discovery.

Networking for 10 days (or even 5) can easily overwhelm even the most advanced conference-goer.  What does X company do?  Who did I meet last night that I wanted to follow up with?  What was the restaurant I wanted to try in Memphis?  Which after party did I end up at the other night? 

Oniracom enjoyed an incredibly successful 10 day stint of networking, film viewing, music listening and trade show booth-ing.  Here are 3 tips for your next trip to SXSW or another conference or festival:

Video: Rogue Wave Live at SXSW 2010

POSTED AT 03:11 PM

While attending SXSW 2010 in Austin this past March, I had the privilege of getting to see a number of Oniracom clients who were playing, including a handful of performances by Rogue Wave

I have seen Rogue Wave perform a number of times, but there was something I really liked about this particular set.  It was at one of the day stages inside the Convention Center where the conference trade show and panels take place, and it was on the last day.  It had just started raining outside, everyone was exhausted from the whole week of the conference, but a couple hundred people gather at this day stage to watch The Middle East (another great client of ours) and Rogue Wave play.  Rogue’s set was a little stripped down from what it usually is, with the frontman Zach playing with an acoustic guitar throughout the set rather than electric.  Even with the mellow atmosphere, Rogue Wave was still able to rock it.

Hope you enjoy the video.

En Route to SXSW

POSTED AT 08:03 AM

I’m sitting at the airport gate right now waiting for my flight out to LAX, then I’m on my way to Austin for SXSW.  Luckily there is wireless at my gate so I can go through the massive list of panels, shows, talks, keynotes, and booths at the festival to decide where I want to go and who I want to meet.  I already have a couple plans to meet up with some cool like-minded companies as Oniracom (like TopSpin and CultureJam), see some of our clients play (Rogue Wave, The Middle East, The Northern Crowns, Christa Borden), and meet up with some companies we already have the pleasure to work with (Justin.TV, TAO, and Luck Media).  It’s going to be a busy 4 days to say the least, but I’m excited to take it all in.

Here are the panels I’m most excited about:

1) Your Fans Are Your Livelihood
How can artists and labels use new technologies and services to sell directly to consumers, retain more of the sale price and build relationships with fans? Services are emerging which offer the framework to go direct. Learn what the new intermediaries can and can’t do for you and your fans.

This one caught my interest immediately because it is moderated by Glenn Peoples (Senior Editorial Analyst at Billboard).  I’ve been following Glenn’s writing on the state of the music industry since before I started working in the industry.  There are a ton of people who write about the music industry, but this guy is the top of the top.  Highly recommended.  I really look forward to meeting him.
