VOTE FOR THE NEW SHARING ECONOMY PANEL
Shareable is a nonprofit online magazine dedicated to promoting sharing as an empowering lifestyle and effective social change strategy. We engage in research and promotion of innovations that help citizens share as part of our work. With our partner Latitude Research, we recently launched a survey on the new sharing economy.
We hope to discuss the results of the survey at the SXSW Interactive conference next March in a panel entitled, The New Sharing Economy. And identify the obstacles and opportunities to creating a way of life based on sharing supported by innovative businesses.
Acceptance of our panel counts partly on popular support in a voting system managed by SXSW's PanelPicker system. If you support our cause, please vote for our panel at this link (persevere dear friend, you will have to register to vote!):

- John Zimmer, co-founder and COO of Zimride.com, a leading ridesharing service.
- Rachel Botsman, author of "What's Mine is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption" and a consultant in the sharing industry.
- Aaron Freed, founder and CEO of Divvy.com, a service that allows you to create your own sharing service for just about anything including houses, planes, cars, and much more.
- Kim Gaskins, Director of Content Development at Latitude Research and producer of the first ever (we think) Sharing Industry Survey.
