My Panel Idea Selected for SXSW 2007

One of the panels I suggested for SXSW 2007 has been selected to be part of next spring’s event. It’s called “Designing for Convergent Devices”. My initial description went like this:

How do you provide a consistent user experience across various devices (web, TV, handhelds, cell phones) that reinforces the concept of convergent services? A panel of design experts discuss the goals and benefits of creating a consistent user experience, and examine the challenges that lie in presenting those services across mediums.

Now I’m looking for that “panel of design experts” that will put on a great discussion. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Also, this year the process of picking panels was driven in part by voting from the masses. I don’t know how much the voting figured into the final selection. I did notice today, however, that a panel from longtime participant Marc Canter (interactconnecting social networks together) didn’t get selected. Oh well, Marc, as you said, there’s always Salt Lick!
