SXSWi Quora Meetup: Preparing for the 2011 Event

Excitement is building around the SXSWi event in March 2011, particularly among members of the Quora community. The prospect of gathering to discuss and share ideas has garnered significant interest, with several team members expressing their willingness to participate in a dedicated Quora meetup.

The initial plan was for Quora leaders to host an event, but when they communicated that they were not going to SXSW, the enthusiasm remained undiminished. Participants indicated that they would still like to meet and engage in meaningful discussions, leading to an impromptu meetup organized by community members.

The meetup is scheduled to occur early in the SXSWi event, likely in the evenings to avoid clashes with other popular gatherings. GroupMe has already been used to form a communication group for Quorans attending SXSWi, providing a platform for real-time updates and discussions.

Event Details and Social Media Engagement

Participants are encouraged to add their Twitter names and SXsocial profiles to the group for better engagement. Organizers are keen to ensure that the meetup remains a low-key, yet engaging event, as highlighted by one participant's note about avoiding overcrowded parties.

The exact venue for the meetup is still under consideration, with organizers signalling that only motivated individuals will be involved in the planning process. This approach aims to maintain the meetups's exclusivity and ensure a higher quality of interactions.

Planning and Party Details

As of March 10, one of the event organizers is already in Austin, ready to coordinate and facilitate discussions among participants. The event planning is ongoing, and a date for the meetup has not yet been finalized. However, there are some key days to consider. A simple search on EventBrite revealed several unofficial parties already scheduled for the 13th, while the 15th features a mix of official events, awards ceremonies, andkaraoke sessions.

Days like the 12th and 14th might offer a more relaxed environment for the Quora meetup, giving participants a chance to form meaningful connections without the pressure of competing with larger gatherings.
