It's official! Silicon Prairie News will be blogging, interviewing, broadcasting live from South by Southwest 2009 in Austin!
We at SPN are completely thrilled with the opportunity to represent Omaha and the Midwest at what is one of the nation's largest conferences for technology, music, media and more.
Lots more to come in the future, but wanted to celebrate with our readers and send a hearty "thank you" out for supporting what we're doing!
You can get a glimpse of what's scheduled at this year's conference here including a keynote by Zappos.com CEO Tony Hsieh. Hsieh has fostered a culture where extraordinary customer service is the norm.
