Britt Watwoodhere's the confusing part: the people attending tech conferences are the same people who create and evangelize the tools that make attending totally unnecessary.

Paul Terry WalhusThe point is, face-to-face still matters. And in fact all our globally-connecting-social-networking tools are making face-to-face more, not less desirable.

And I even listened to your keynote because the link was sent through Twitter.
Yes, it's not a substitiute for human contact. Nothing is. But it's nice to have technology that let's us feel close even when we can't be physically.

Bottom line: Face-to-Face matters, and the more people we meet online, the more people we now want to connect with offline. Perhaps one day in the future, the technology will finally catch up with real-life and we'll get the same brain/health benefits from a non-real-world experience. Personally, I hope not. I'd rather see technology that lets us come together in the real world as cheaply and easily as possible, despite wide geographic distances.

Get your users to meet other users in the real world!

In my talk, I mentioned two implications of the importance of face-to-face:
1) We should encourage our (human) users to get together in the offline world.
2) We should add more human-ness to the interactions in our software. -
Everyone comes out re-energized. And you don't need to go to SXSW to get that benefit! Simply attending any live event--from the three-person lunch meetup to the 100-person local user group can give you the most positive effect of being at an event like SXSW.

The most underrated benefit of the face-to-face effect of conferences is INSPIRATION.

The point is, face-to-face still matters. And in fact all our globally-connecting-social-networking tools are making face-to-face more, not less desirable. Thanks to the tools y'all are building, we now have more far-flung friends--including people we've never met f2f--than ever before. We now have more people we want to connect with in the human world, often after years of electronic-only contact.

So... if nobody needed to be there, why were they?

SXSW Interactive had more attendees than ever before. A lot more. But here's the confusing part: the people attending are the same people who create and evangelize the tools that make attending totally unnecessary. I started my keynote by asking if anyone was live-blogging. Hands shot up across the room. Someone yelled "Twitter!" The whole thing was recorded on video and audio. So... if nobody > needed > to be there, > why were they > ? >

For me, the single biggest reason to attend an event like SXSW is the feeling of motivation and--as David Seah so aptly put it -- "Rededication".
