I volunteered for SXSW last year and got a badge. A great experience, but I felt like I wasn't fully capitalizing on the event.
This year, I had Name Your Price popsicles, wore a decorated box, and stood on top of a cooler shouting for 7 hours a day. It was monumentally beneficial for networking and self-promotion. Everyday, I was shut down by the police for not having a permit, but I had an awesome experience nonetheless.
