South by Southwest Panel Picker Voting Starts Monday 9 August

Last time I checked, there were over 75 SXSW 2011 proposals submitted and tagged for Health. The SXSW staff has been reviewing the proposals. Those proposals that were selected will be published sometime Monday 9 August for voting. Be sure to vote for your favorite Health Track proposals. The process for voting on panels is explained here.

The SXSW staff review counts for about 30% of the selection process. The community based voting counts for 30%.  The advisory board review counts for 40%. The advisory board makes its decisions during late August and early September. (Health Track advisory board members are not allowed to submit proposals in the health category.)

2011 will mark the first year that South by Southwest Interactive Festival has dedicated a Track to Health presentations as well as showcasing top Health Technology startups with patient-centric applications and services in the Accelerator program.

More about Accelerator Health in a post later this week.

Update:

Due to overwhelming response, the voting won't start until Weds 11 August at noon (Central Time.) Here's the update from the SXSW staff.
