The 2010 SXSW Blogger Lounge - Room 19A
SXSW is an experience you'll never forget and one that we carry with us all year long. We grow anxious each year as we get closer to March and the minute we leave, we immediately start the countdown to next year. It's our sanctuary. It's our retreat. It's our celebration. We grow together and we grow individually. And, each year, our gathering place within SXSW is the Blogger Lounge. Once again Windows Phone, along with TechSet hosts Stephanie Agresta and Brian Solis, will pay tribute to the ideas, passions, and friendships that bring us together. Join us every day to see everyone you know, everyone you want to know, and give us the opportunity to get to know you. Plus, daily tweet-ups, refreshments and all the content you can create!

ELEVEN API Lounge - Hilton Room 406
The Alcatel-Lucent ELEVEN API Lounge cranks up the volume in an "ultra-lounge" environment where SXSW rockers and developers alike can hang out, network, eat, drink, get online, and learn how to get involved with ALU API platform and developer activities.
