Play Werewolf (Game) Like a Mother Killing Pro

Friday March 9, 2012 2:00pm - 6:00pm @ Palm Park (Presentation Tent) (200 N. IH 35, Austin, TX 78701)

Werewolf, a variation of the Mafia game, is spreading like wildfire in the tech social circles. We've hosted overnight games in secret in the past at SXSW, but this time, we want to get more people involved. The game is the great equalizer. Though deceit, honesty, and raw powers of reasoning, you can get to know amazing people and build great friendships. This panel with long-time Werewolf players will teach you the basic rules, the best practices (yes, there are best practices even for a game), and how to host the game yourself. Come to SXSWi and leave with an amazing tool to build great experiences forever. Trust me, I'm a villager.

Large Enterprise Social Media Professionals, Unite!

Sunday March 11, 2012 12:30pm - 1:30pm @ InterContinental Stephen F. Austin (Boardroom) (701 Congress Ave., Austin, TX 78701)

The social media challenges of a large enterprise are unique from those of a startup. For example: what are often "simple" person-to-person tasks at a startup do not necessarily scale when they are administered in a company of over 1,000 employees. This meetup is designed to bring both employees of large enterprises, as well as the agencies who work with them, together to share advice, tips and make connections.

Sunday March 11, 2012 5:00pm - 6:00pm @ Hilton Austin Downtown (Room 615AB) (500 E 4th St, Austin, TX 78701)

The cloud juggernaut keeps moving into just about every aspect of business. Well here’s another one Web Access Management…or how to get the right applications to the right people at the right time. So before this whole cloud thing gets to be more of a fog; access management is important because it equals security. Want to learn more, well that’s what this meetup’s all about. A chance to get some industry gurus together as well as some people who are trying to connect the dots between the applications and users in the cloud, without the lame audience polls and death by PowerPoint. So let’s meet, let’s talk, let’s network and maybe even solve some problems about all things access: identity management, authentication, single sign-on, user management, etc. in the cloud. See you there.

SOPA / PIPA / ACTA Meet Up

Monday March 12, 2012 11:00am - 12:00pm @ Hyatt Regency Austin (Big Bend) (208 Barton Springs Rd, Austin, TX 78704)

In Washington, there is no such thing as a sure thing. Still at one point, passing the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and PROTECT-IP (PIPA) seemed like a cakewalk. Both bills were aimed at curbing access to so-called “rogue” websites. But critics cried foul, pointing out how SOPA and PIPA would undermine internet security, compromise free expression and chill innovation. A massive internet blackout as well as millions of emails and phone calls to legislators stopped the proposals dead in their tracks. Meanwhile, the US government continued to push for adoption of the multi-national Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), which sparked massive protests across several European nations. What are the takeaways? Can the sides come together to protect intellectual property without endangering what’s great about the internet? How we answer these questions today will impact generations to come. Join us at this Meet Up for a conversation about where we might go from here.
