Hello, I'm Mike Prasad.

It’s SXSW Panel Voting time again and I’m really hoping to talk this coming year, as its been a while and I think a revised version of my social media talk I gave at iStrategy Melbourne this year would be perfect. The talk was the most tweeted, referenced, and requested at iStrategy but since it deals with all U.S. based case studies, I’d very much like to present it here at SXSW.

Help make that happen by taking a look at the slides below and VOTING AND COMMENTING FOR THE TALK HERE!

The Secret to Social Media: What do you love?

All of us in the Los Angeles Tech Community have been working our asses off the this year, and in that time, we’ve been doing some pretty innovative things! Help us bring those ideas and innovations to SXSW 2011 by voting and commenting via SXSW Panel PIcker. I’ve compiled a list of L.A. people with panel ideas for SXSW 2011, pick your favorites (check mine out!) and support the community! Voting ends August 27 so don’t wait!

If your panel isn’t listed, leave a comment here or @/DM me and I’ll add it!
