‘Tis the season of the South by Southwest panel picker and the feeding frenzy that follows.

When cruising the 2000+ proposals, I came across tons of cool and interesting proposals. I also found my head swimming with how many panels there are!

So, in the spirit of helpfulness (with a healthy dose of self-promotion) here are some of the panels from folks at Adaptive Path, friends and colleagues.
