The Forrest Four-Cast: October 25, 2018

Only a few more weeks until the deadline for SXSW Pitch 2019, as the entry process closes at the end of the day on Thursday, November 15.

SXSW Pitch (formerly known as the SXSW Accelerator Pitch Event) brings together some of the world’s most impressive startups in 10 different categories: Artificial Intelligence, Augmented & Virtual Reality, Blockchain, Enterprise & Smart Data, Entertainment & Content, Health & Wearable, Hyper-Connected Communities, Social & Culture, Sports & Performance Data, and Transportation & Delivery.

Learn more about SXSW Pitch by reading interviews with some of the startups that won their categories in 2018. These interviews include GrubTub, Vochlea Music, ARwall, DroneSeed, ICON, FutureFuel, and Polyport.

Also purchasing a badge is the best way to leverage all the opportunities at SXSW. But don’t delay, as registration rates increase at end of day October 26.

Hugh Forrest serves as Chief Programming Officer at SXSW, the world’s most unique gathering of creative professionals. He also tries to write at least four paragraphs per day on Medium. These posts often cover tech-related trends; other times they focus on books, pop culture, sports and other current events.

Remember to vote on Tuesday, November 6. In Austin, early voting begins Monday, October 22 and continues through Friday, November 2.
