Only Slightly Longer Version:

South by Southwest (SXSW) is one of my two favorite conferences.  (This one is the other fave.)  Part of the reason that I really dig SXSW is the collaborative and participative nature of, well, every aspect of the event.

In particular, this is evidenced by how the event chooses its speakers, which is by way of a combination of the SXSW Advisory Board, SXSW Staff, and YOU!  See below for the graphic of how the percentages shake out.

The panel I’ve proposed to SXSW is focused on how markets are changing as vendors cede control to customers.  (That’s us.)  The full description is as follows:

"From the Greek Agora to the Dutch flower market at Aalsmeer to eBay and
the iTunes App Store, markets have always been a key element of social
civilization. But what are "markets" really, and how is technology
changing their complexion? From GPS and location-based services to
concepts such as VRM (Vendor Relationship Management), this session
will examine the seven types of markets that technology has enabled,
and how those markets are affecting our business relationships."

I’d like to request your assistance in helping this conversation get onto the agenda.  It will take less than one minute. (I promise.)

That’s it.

I really appreciate your help, and am looking forward to seeing you in Austin.
