SXSW and MIX are quickly approaching, and Matt and I are getting excited for the round three of meeting, thinking and drinking. If you’ll be at either conference this year, come say hey. We’re the newlyweds who dress the same.
If you’re there for the education, you can also come here us speak…
SXSW Interactive
I’m moderating a panel, Writing Web Content for a Living, with three smartypants content strategy experts: Ian Alexander of Eat Media, Erin Anderson of Brain Traffic, and Dan Maccarone of Hard Candy Shell. We’ll be talking about the mechanics of writing web content: what’s involved, how content strategy fits in, and how to start doing it.
The panel is on Sunday, March 14th, at 12:30 PM in Ballroom C.
The rest of the time, Matt and I will be attending other peoples’ presentations and going out and about at night—at the Twitter Happy Hour on Thursday, Happy Cogaoke on Saturday, and Mashable’s MashBash on Sunday, at least.
Also, if you’re into content strategy and web writing, here’s a list of must-see panels.
MIX10
My talk, Treat Your Content Right, is scheduled for Wednesday, March 17th, at 12:00pm in Breakers J. I’ll be giving a high-level overview of principles that can help your team improve your content and incorporate basic content strategy practices into your process.
Matt’s talk, Running With Wireframes: Taking Information Architecture Into Design, is scheduled for Wednesday, March 17th, at 1:30pm in Breakers D. He’ll be talking about ways to better integrate UX and IA into design through a flexible process and open collaboration between content folks, information architects, and designers.
We’ll be at the MIX on Tuesday and Wednesday, and will be attending presentations all day. Hope we see you in the hallway!
Sorry, we're not taking on new projects.
In early 2011 we joined the design team at Facebook, where we now work full-time. To keep up with us, check out the Brown Blog or follow @brownthings and @ticjones!
