A bit of background info if you’ve never heard of it. SXSW is one of the largest music festivals in the United States, with more than 1,400 performers from around the world playing on over eighty stages in downtown Austin, Texas over four days in March. By day, conference registrants do business in the SXSW Trade Show in the Austin Convention Center and partake of a full agenda of informative, provocative panel discussions featuring hundreds of speakers of international stature.
