Blogging impact by design

why my bosses should send me to learn about tomorrow here

Why should Chris, Ali, and Megan consider sending me, their loyal creative designer, to SXSW Interactive this coming year? Aside from the top ten reasons listed on the SXSW site, and aside from the fact that I do partake in the designing of things interactive for Compendium, and aside from the fact that it seems like the place to be in the industry, I am a tremendous note taker, a pretty decent listener, and a person who really enjoys learning new things from experts.

Also, I've never been to austin, but I have a few good friends there who just might be able to put me up on a rather nice couch, which means, I'm also a cheap send (unlike those high maintenance sales folk (just kidding high maintenance sales folk)).

As the leaders of the 3rd generation in business blogging, I feel it is appropriate that Compendium has a strong presence at the conference this year, and I would like to get that seed planted right now, with this post.

Thank you for your consideration.

** speaking of bosses, happy b-day Springsteen.

Wednesday, September 23, 2009 by dhafley:: First! I can confirm that a couch in Austin will be available for SXSW. The nice-ness of this couch could possibly be disputed, but its function cannot. You are guaranteed to sleep at least seven hours and wake up fully rested, ready to take notes and learn about Web 7.0. I would only ask for my own SXSW ticket in exchange for this couch. Or just send me one pound of fair-trade, whole-bean coffee. GIDDY UP.
Wednesday, September 23, 2009 by Kristian Andersen:: Your good friends from Kristian Andersen + Associates will be representing and we'd love to have some more Indy folk around. Chris and Ali should come down with you as well. We think it's important enough that we shut down the whole KA+A operation for several days to all make the trip together. @kristianindy / www.kaplusa.com
