Most of the sessions listed below were user generated via the SXSW PanelPicker, an approach that embraces the community and empowers anyone to enter a speaking idea. In this same vein of inclusion, the PanelPicker allows anyone in the community to vote / comment on these ideas. For 2015, more than 3000 total ideas were entered via this interface — so the selection process was extremely competitive. If you entered a speaking proposal in the PanelPicker and your proposal is not listed below, you will learn more about your status via e-mail later this week.
