SXSW is right around the corner and even though everyone is gearing up for the parties and social rock & roll mayhem, our own Brian Burke will be holding down the business side from the 9th-13th (at least that’s what we’re told)! If your plans find you in Austin, check out his industry panel on Monday the 12th: The iPad: The Second Coming of the CD-ROM. Brian will also be joined on the stage by our good friend Randi Rosenkranz from Random House and others. Stop by and hear more about their views on emerging tech, content, what’s working, what is stale and whether history repeats itself. A big shout-out to Steve @ Enlighten for including Smashing on this panel!
