Ever been to a marketing-related conference? Ever read a conference guide? Ever checked out a panel description? Then you know conference event vernacular can be a panalopy of buzzword bingo. SXSW, the mother of all interactive conferences, puts the rest to shame with its propensity for buzzword bingo. An analysis by BlogAds of SXSWi panel buzzwords has discovered Monday, March 5 will be the sexiest day of the five day event. And by sexy, we mean geeked out hotness.

Examining all the panel descriptions, BlogAds identified 117 buzzwords with Monday accounting for 37 of them. The award for most egregiously buzzwordy panel goes to one entitled Social Change, Social Media & Social media, a threepeat of socialistic sensationalism.

But what would study about the “sexiness”: of SXSW panels be without panels actually capitalizing on the word “sex.” Here are three notable panels with sex on the brain.

Check the full analysis here.

This SXSW coverage has been brought to you by Red Square, a small national agency that just happens to be located in the SXSE.

Psychology says the person who is kind to everyone and close to no one isn’t always lacking in the capacity for intimacy — they’re managing their exposure to it, and management and intimacy are fundamentally incompatible, which is why the closeness they’re managing against never quite arrives
