It’s the mid of March, and there’s no place we’d rather be in than Austin. The South by South West (SXSW) starts from this 11th and has us hooked even before we have set foot in the city. You can practically hear the city buzzing with SXSW from anywhere in the world.
It’s as huge as its history
One of the things that make SXSW so special is that it’s huge! Not just the Obamas as Keynote Speakers huge, but huge in number of events and locations as well.
Last year the event had
2,266 Showcasing Artists
233 Panels, Workshops & Sessions
107 Venues & Stages
The excitement is only growing over the years.
This year they already have 72,000 registrations and counting. SXSW’s Director of Tech, Scott Wilcox even teases into the event and says that there’s a lot to look forward to. “This year we expect to produce 6,000 events at 600 distinct locations when you add it all up. A big part of what makes South by Southwest special,” he told TNW.
The SXSW is your oyster
But the size of the festival is not a deterrent at all. In fact it is just indicative of the humongous convergence of global minds. SXSW organizers dub it as premier destination for discovery, and we are excited to do just the same. We are eager to meet likeminded entrepreneurs and exchange our ideas of digital production outsourcing and evolving technologies.
To tap into the opportunities of global networking, we are setting up a booth (Stand 1530) at the festival where we will exhibit ways in which we help organisations save cost and scale up their digital production capabilities cost effectively.
A live wire in the festival
We will be doing a live pitch on Monday, March 14 from 2PM-3PM. It will be done by our US Country Head, Jason Dodd. We are pretty excited to let people know about all the progress we made in the last few years and what how we can help them in their businesses
Legend has it
The legend around the event is just unbelievable. The organizers claim that the event continues to spark new ideas and carve the path for the future of each ever-evolving field, long after the events’ conclusion. We cannot wait to be a part of such history and would like to contribute to the palette as much as possible. Here’s hoping that we make the most of Austin this time around, including catching up on the night life on the 6th Street.
Hope to see you too.
