Hi All, Sorry to ask a stupid question but what's SXSW? Is it a conference that is for independent workers (the coworking community target market) to learn, network and check out booths from companies that target the independent contractor? Would someone like me whose 'other job' is real estate development in brazil and financial consulting attend? If so, then I totally think we should piggy back off such an event if likeminded independent contractor people will be there! :) I didn't know such conferences existed! :)
