Cree goes to SXSW Interactive: Find us for chance to win LED lights!

Posted by Ginny Skalski

I have two geek sides. One is my LED side, where I get excited geeking out over color temperatures, efficacy and CRI. The other is my social media side, where I geek out over Twitter, blogging and APIs.

Later this week, I’ll get to focus on my social media geek side as I join some 11,000 fellow passionate Internet users in Austin, Texas, at South by Southwest Interactive, the largest web, interactive and social media conference of the year.

I have a lot of goals for the conference, one of them being to spread the good word about the LED Lighting Revolution to anyone who will listen (feel sorry for the person stuck next to me on the plane).

If you plan to attend SXSWi, find me! I’ll be tweeting my location periodically (you are following @Cree on Twitter, aren’t you?). And I’ll be at the Cree Sustainable Media Happy Hour, presented by our friends over at TriplePundit and EcoPopTV on Monday, March 15.

If you’ll be in Austin on Monday and you want to socialize with other non-profits, social entrepreneurs, issues bloggers, clean techies, environmental filmmakers and North Carolina peeps, let us know you’re coming.

And at any point during SXSWi, if you find me, give me your business card. Once SXSWi is over, we’ll draw one winner to receive three Cree LRP-38® LED lights. These are the same LED lights that are being installed in the produce sections of 650 Wal-Marts and they provide gorgeous, warm energy-efficient light!

It shouldn’t be too hard to find me throughout the week. I plan on tweeting my location and using the location-based app Gowalla. Here’s a picture of me from last night’s News & Observer Tweetup in Downtown Raleigh. Find me for your chance to win!

Looking forward to Lighting the LED Revolution in Austin!
