First, our official plans…

  • March 8th from 6 pm until 11 we’ll be at the Austin Technology Council Gateway at The Roosevelt Room & The Eleanor
  • March 9th, the first of the panels at which we’ll have our attention: The Workspace Evolution.  We’ll be at ClearPort ATX at 3 pm on Friday for the panel discussion that should touch on the evolution of workspace as it pertains to media companies.
  • March 9th is Startup Crawl from 4 pm – 8 pm and we’ll be bouncing between the Workspace party and our plans with Sputnik ATX during the crawl
  • March 9-13 we’re producing a series of Who’s Who in media interviews
    • We’re filming interviews with top media executives to talk about innovation in media in an unscripted conversation
    • Curious about being interviewed?  Let us know here 
  • March 9-16 we’ll be chilling out with Work Well Win & Soulcycle right off Congress Ave
  • March 11th we’re working with Tsquared Agency and Betsy Bash to host a Connector Meetup. Meet some of the most influential connectors in Media & Business. Rooftop overlooking SXSW.
  • March 12 we’re taking a bus tour.  Yeah, you heard that right; we’re off to uncover the future of media innovation in Austin.

We’re also pretty heavily involved in the SXSW Accelerator and through mentorship sessions throughout the week.  See you there?
