Tues, Oct 17: Meet SXSW at Capital Factory

The Forrest Four-Cast: October 16, 2017

Want tips on navigating the just-released lineup of 700 panels and presentation for SXSW 2018? Need information on what badge is best for you and your goals? Want to learn about the most effective ways to get your startup involved with the event? Or do you have other questions about how your brand of creativity can leverage all the opportunities at March Magic?

Then come to Capital Factory in Austin (701 Brazos in the Omni Hotel) on Tuesday, October 17 for our first-ever Office Hours event. Several staffers will be stationed at the Johnny-Five Classroom on the first floor from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. These staffers will be happy to answer all your SXSW-related questions — or direct you to the right person who can help you.

Finally, remember to purchase your SXSW badge before the end of the day on Friday, October 20. If you beat this deadline, you will save a cool $400 on the walkup price for next spring. Also remember to apply for the SXSW Accelerator Pitch Event and the SXSW Interactive Innovation Awards — both of which close entries at the end of the day on Friday, November 10.
