MANA - Experiences CuratorshipProprietary & Confidential
Thursday, May 29, 14
We live a unique moment in the history of mankind. Thanks to the Internet and to the new social networks that are building a continuously connected society, we receive each day a flood of new information and sensorial stimuli. People never produced or consumed as much content as today. On one hand, there’re endless options and possibilities. On the other, anxiety in choosing one path in detriment of others is unavoidable. As in the example of a needle in a haystack, how to identify, faced by a huge amount of information, the most relevant answers to achieve the best possible decision-making? How to transform data into useful and practical knowledge? How to visualize and organize data, in order to synthesize their essence? That’s who we are: a consulting firm specialized in curating, analyzing & interpreting experiences.

“I’ve always called SxSW the “Davos of Digital,” because it is the only time
each year that literally thousands of the world’s most influential digital
minds bump shoulders.”
Forbes, March 8The Verve, March 15
“It is arguably the go-to event for digital creatives and innovators from all over the world to meet and share their ideas.”
“There is no better place to surround yourself with people who are smarter than you than at SXSW.”
Entrepreneur, March 7
“..this year’s South by Southwest Interactive Festival, considered a sort
of mashup of the Super Bowl and spring break for the tech elite...”
CNN, February 15
“For that’s still what makes South By Southwest Interactive an indispensable gathering of the minds – that this isn’t just a place focused on individual inventors or celebrities but on societal advancements. One impressive pitch here can be the starting point for a process/product that will change the way we communicate, vote, volunteer, and live our daily lives.”
