Taking place each March in Austin, Texas, South by Southwest (SXSW) is a world-renowned gathering of the brightest minds and most driven individuals in all of music, film, and technology.
For 10 days the arrangement of music showcases, conferences, pop-up parties, and pretty much any gathering you can imagine will blanket the State Capital as hotels reach capacity and nearly every major media network in the United States tunes in to what unfolds. No matter where your interests lie, there is sure to be something for you at SXSW.
The largest music event of its kind in the United States, SXSW will host more than 2,000 performers and bands across more than 100 venues.
Outspoken actor and comedian Russell Brand will lead a panel around his new YouTube show and book, Jimmy Kimmel live will broadcast from The Long Center for the Performing Arts, Snoop Dogg serves as a keynote speaker, and hundreds of worldwide brands will be exhibiting their latest innovations.
Wherever you find yourself, the amount of knowledge ready to be absorbed is sure to catalyze an underlying motivation ready to capitalize on opportunity; after all, the central tenet of SXSW is to incubate ideas and provide a platform where preparation meets opportunity.
We’re ecstatic at the prospects of knowledge just waiting to give us an uppercut to the jaw during the day, but equally as eager to experience the electronic dance music showcases that await each night.
After expanding their EDM offerings in 2015, there will be no shortage of high-quality dance music for EDM enthusiasts that find themselves in Austin for the SXSW Music Showcase from Tuesday, March 17 through Sunday, March 22.
