"The Austin festival is all about synergies and partnerships of different types ... and the atmosphere jostles more than just creative juices in its attendees. Virtually across the board, distributors, sponsors, registrants and execs call the festival "casual" and "manageable" along with "hip" and "cool"- even if they don't call it a "market."
