There are about 3 weeks left before a contingency of South Africans hits one of the biggest and best geek conferences in the US: SxSW (South by South West). I am hoping that the group will use this blog to post their experiences, views, opinions etc from SxSW. In the meantime, I thought I’d post a list of who exactly is going. So here it is, in no particular order:

Looking forward to seeing some of my favorite South Africans at SXSW! It will be great to get your thoughts on the digital trends out here and how they correlate (and where they don’t) to SA, along with late nights on the RVIP Lounge…
