From parties to food trucks to global media coverage, it’s clear SXSWi is the place to celebrate all things digital and tech. But perhaps one of the best parts about the festival is the way individuals, from big and small companies alike, come together to collaborate on ideas and share knowledge.
While the HootBus has taken center stage at SXSWi (even being mentioned in Inc.com and USA Today), our Owls on the ground have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to reach out to folks at the festival – listening closely to innovations and trends in the social and tech space.
See what our Owls have been up to in Austin – featuring appearances by Ryan Holmes, Dave Olson and, of course, a dash of Owly fun!

It’s only day one of SXSW Interactive and the HootSuite Owls have already made quite the splash. The elite team we’ve sent to Austin can be found all over the festival grounds – giving lectures, core conversations and attending spontaneous TweetUps. Get to know the team by checking out our SXSW prep post: HootSuite’s Owl Poised to Perch at SXSW 2012.
Transporting the team is HootSuite’s newly finished #HootBus – an 18-seater strigiforme shuttle equipped with a CO2 powered t-shirt cannon, swag, and of course the HootSuite team!
Ryan took a break from firing the cannons to lead the excellent “What If” UnConference session today (March 9) at PepsiCo Central, where he was seen whiteboarding the big trends in how data will change consumer experiences. There is a great Storify of this posted already and the team will be updating with multimedia and daily Livescribes of notes, doodles, conversations, and more directly from SXSW in Austin, TX.
With sightings of the team and the bus popping up all over, let’s have a look at the #HootBus origins. Plus, let’s peek into VP Community Dave Olson‘s Core Conversation coming up on Saturday, March 10.

VP Community, Dave Olson, has dubbed it the “holy week for our industry.”
To get you caught up, we’ve put together a preview of what our Owls will be up to in Austin, including who’s rolling with Owly aboard the HootBus. Yup, the HootBus.

HootUps are small, casual, free events organized by HootSuite users across the world. At HootSuite HQ, we really enjoy seeing HootFans organize these kinds of events and encourage you to host one in your city. To provide some inspiration and guidance for hosting one, we’ll take a look at the steps involved in our latest HootUp.
On January 26th, HootSuite fans in Hawaii celebrated their first Maui HootUp. Check out the fun the organizers had planning and hosting the event.
