If you are organizing a presentation or panel in specific tracks of programming, you will be assigned a Conference Session Assistant (CSA). CSAs make sure that session organizers and speakers are armed with all the information needed to ensure a successful session. This includes answering basic questions as well as making sure that all the necessary checklist items are being completed. SXSW can be a very confusing process, so the more information / direction / advice / encouragement we can give to speakers, the better the event is for everyone involved.
