NOTE: After creating the SXSW: Digital Activism Panel Recommender on Thursday I realized that it might be more useful to organize the panels by day, rather than by theme. Here’s the day-by-day schedule. (✰=Meta-Activism-Project community member panel).
UPDATED with recommendations from techPresident (March 6)
——
