SXSW: Experiential Event Series Mega-Events

March 17-19, Austin
SXSW is such a herculean undertaking, it can hardly be called an event . It s more like a bunch of smaller robot events that came together to form a Voltron event. Ever wonder what it takes to keep all those moving pieces moving? If you re curious, sign up for MPI s Experiential Event Series at SXSW. You ll get to interact and meet with Mike Shea, SXSW Executive Director and other SXSW staff who will share operational insights from the SXSW teams that plan, program and produce these 9 days of conferences, festivals and exhibitions . You ll also get a bunch of behind-the-scenes tours. Highly recommended.

BizBash Elevate New York

April 27, New York
BizBash calls itself the summer school for event planners , but I don t know about that. Summer school sucks. Summer school is a thing you have to do when all your friends are eating Fruit Loops in their PJs at 11am. I see Elevate as more of a summer camp where you spend the first hour crying in your bunk bed, but then they let you loose at the macaroni art table, and by the time your folks come to pick you up, you ve forgotten their names.
