Scheduled March 8-12, the 2013 SXSW® Interactive Festival will feature five days of compelling presentations from the brightest minds in emerging technology, scores of exciting networking events hosted by industry leaders, the SXSW Trade Show and an unbeatable lineup of special programs showcasing the best new digital works, video games and innovative ideas the international community has to offer. Join us for the most energetic, inspiring and creative event of the year.
Today is the last day to take advantage of some serious savings on your SXSW Registration! For all you procrastinators out there, this is not something you want to put off. You have until 11:59pm (CST) tonight to register online at the discounted rate.
Online and on-site registration will certainly be available after February 8, but not at these prices. Have any questions? Review the Registration FAQ or take a look at www.sxsw.com/attend for more information.
Mentor Ellen McGirt by Edmond LortsSXSW provides a unique forum for making valuable, one-on-one connections that can take your career to the next level. These connections sometime occur via panels, networking events and even through chance meetings in the hallways at venues where our programming occurs. Another avenue to make these valuable, one-on-one connections is the SXSW Mentor Program, which includes the Interactive, Film, and Music festivals and conferences. The SXSW Mentor Program allows registrants to participate in a seven to ten minute meeting with an industry veteran or insider. Typically, these short meetings provide a great forum for the mentor to dispense important advice, guidance, counseling and inspiration to the mentee.

SXSW is proud to announce that Chevrolet is back as a 2013 SXSW Super Sponsor!
For the past three years running, Chevrolet has brought a fleet of Cruze sedans and Equinox crossovers to provide continuous shuttle service throughout the duration of the festival. The “Catch a Chevy” program is a huge convenience to our registrants, providing upwards of 10,000 rides each year. Vehicles can be hailed just like a taxi, or caught at the designated “Catch a Chevy” stop at 4th & Trinity right outside of the Austin Convention Center. Once you catch a ride, they will take you anywhere you want to go in downtown Austin, and the best part; it is 100% free for SXSW badge and wristband holders.
