Vote for My SXSW Panel Presentation

Hello Everyone,

My idea for a SXSW Presentation was entered into the final round! From now until August 23, anyone can visit the SXSW site and vote for a presentation you think would benefit the attendees of the next event, taking place March 2020 (hopefully mine).

My presentation, “Curative Fintech: A Crypto Medical Savings System” is the story of my journey into medical debt. I was able to move past debt by creating a unique method that reduces healthcare expenses. My revised system now includes a blockchain and cryptocurrency component.

Here is the presentation I submitted.

I would love to represent the special needs community and those affected by medical debt. Help me achieve that goal by your vote!

If you want more details on my idea, or if you would like to receive the presentation via email, feel free to reply to CurativeFinance@gmail.com. 

Sincerely,

Yolanda Baker

Six – SXSW PanelPicker

The 2019 SXSW PanelPicker is here!

A summary of the PanelPicker is described below. The links will take you to the appropriate sections.

PanelPicker is the official SXSW user-generated session proposal platform developed to encourage the community to pitch their proposals for our daytime conference programming. This easy, two-step online process allows the SXSW community to have a voice in what creative and thought-provoking programming is scheduled at the SXSW Conference and SXSW EDU.

There are many session formats to choose from. Here are a few:

  • Book readings and signings
  • Meetups
  • Pitch events
  • Presentations and panels

The PanelPicker runs from July 1 to the 19th. I am in the process of submitting my pitch for the Pitch Event. Although I am unable to describe in detail what my idea is,

  • It does involve Blockchain for the special needs community in the United States , and
  • It may involve a cryptocurrency for this population.

I will drop hints here and there in future posts of my ideas. In the meantime, send me comments if you’ve attended SXSW before. I’ve attended SXSW Edu, but I’d like to know your experiences with past SXSW Interative sessions.
