Entrepreneur; I can't think of another word that's becoming more of a buzz than it. But, more people are calling themselves "Serial Entrepreneurs" today because the single word "Entrepreneur" is not enough anymore. Especially since the recession started, we're creating our own businesses then calling ourselves entrepreneurs for being self-employed.

Getting together with other liked minded, talented professionals & friends is what it's all about...oh and those pesky panels you almost forget about because of the night before.
My experience of SXSW this year was one of the best yet. The panels were well organized and the parties were well executed. I met a lot of new faces...most I recognized from around Twitter. I've already began my excitement for next March!
