Vote Now: 80+ British Sessions Proposed in SXSW Panel Picker
I'm pretty sure it happens earlier each year, but maybe it's age. Policemen are all looking younger, too. The annual 'vote for me' fest that is the SXSW Panelpicker has opened its doors.
This year sees over 80 panels submitted from this side of the Atlantic from organisations big and small including the BBC, Iris Worldwide, FutureGov, TechHub, BBC, PeerIndex, mydeco, Somethin' Else, Madgex, Clearleft, The Economist and heaps more.
And they need your votes...SXSW has some form for companies arguably having been the launchpad for Twitter and FourSquare previously. Getting a panel included in the programme can be a big benefit - and in addition to the fame, a platform to speak their minds, speakers also get a free pass to the conference.
The process gives the public a say in the programming of the SXSW Interactive festival which takes place in Austin, Texas (9-12 March 2012). Last year, well over 1,000 Brits made the trip making up a total of nearly 20,000 conference delegates.
If you're interested in attending SXSW and haven't made plans already, we're looking in to group trips to SXSW as well as Le Web later this year. Let us know if you're interested here.
Here's our, hopefully, comprehensive list of panels submitted by Brits for SXSW Interactive 2012 - in the highly likely event that we've missed a panel, please leave a note in the comments and we'll sort it out.

Where do old Creative go to die?
We've also put one in entitled 'Where do old Creatives go to die?" - http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/11730
P.s. Creative Social set up by two Brits
Here's one more - Surely we can make it to 100?
I've submitted a session on UX tips for startups: http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/8829
Your votes are much appreciated!
Nice.....
Thanks for taking the time to discuss about this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. http://www.2jdesign.co.uk/
Great round up - and one more!
Hi there,
Great round up, but you've missed us here at Spoonfed Media/Bullseyehub. We really enjoyed speaking at SXSW in 2010 and hope to have another opportunity with our panel: Content Distribution to Get Customers (http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/10353).
If you have a chance to add it to your list we'd really appreciate it! Best of luck to all the UK entries.
Cheers,
Meaghan
SXSW UK?
With all this great content coming out of the UK couldn't we have a little mini UK version of SXSW? Obviously we can't replicate the weather... especially today...
Almost all these ideas (even mine!) are better than most of the dull case-study led stuff we get stuck with at UK conferences.
Made it to 90!
Thanks to the latest additions from @Conor @luxlux - the number of British panels submitted to SXSW's panelpicker has reached 90. Now just a matter of getting those votes in!
Another Entry
Great list, please find below a link to another UK entry:
Performance and Technology: Keeping Arts Alive http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/10345

Love the list, great to see so many Brit panels. Here's one more to add to the list:
http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/13524?return=%2Fideas%2Findex%2F10%2Fpresenter%3AButtolph
It's about social media, fashion, buying psychology and the mysterious art of 'looking expensive'...
Thanks much, and good luck to everyone with a panel in the running
The British are coming
Hi Sam,
One more to add to that list:
http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/11762
It's actually mine, so, being British, I'm terribly embarrassed to be pointing it out myself.
Tim
Self-Effacement is the British Way
@Tim - totally with you on that front, but fear not, it's good to get some practice on self-promotion if you're planning to head out to the US. Can't afford to be shy!
UK panel entry
@Sam
You've missed out the library! [shock horror LOL]
http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/12702
It's a UK-born library, with a UK-born librarian, but clearly technically as a world travelling library it doesn't just hang out in the UK all the time.
Please give us the thumbs-up innit.
Word.
No Library Fines, I Hope
@Librarian - I was always in trouble with the librarians at college, and it looks like nothing has changed ;-) Sorry it got missed out, just added the panel to the list...takes the total to a wonderfully palindromic (is that a word?) 88 panels from the British contingent.
Library fine = poem ...in our
Library fine = poem
...in our library...check the ByeByeLaws for full explication
@sam
Clearly those librarians did a good job though & taught you a verbal trick [tic p'rhaps?] or two...

Meantime, chiz!

Another UK panel entry from Mason Zimbler
Great list, here's another panel from my friends at Mason Zimbler in Bristol
How to Mashup Creative & Technology for Innovation http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/13912
Thanks, added that one
@Ian, thanks, they're duly added to the list. That makes it 87 panels now!
sorry Sam, on How to Mashup
sorry Sam, on How to Mashup Creative & Technology for Innovation can you change the name and company to Shane Casey at Mason Zimbler (http://mzl.com/) since Andrew Hansen at Harte-Hanks is the *American* colleague organising it. Cheers!
Sorted!
@Ian - no worries, these are the important details. Duly updated.
Sorry we missed it...
@Clair - thanks for that, sorry for missing, I started to go a bit screen blind after the first couple of thousand panels. I've added your panel to the list above.
Another UK panel entry
Thanks for the post...it's great to see all these entries from fellow brits. Please can you add:
