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.

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.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
