After a few requests from our friends up north hunkering down for the storm, we've extended our last registration deadline for SXSW 2013 to 11:59pm (CST) on Monday, February 11th. That means you have more time to get your 2013 SXSW Registration squared away. For those of you not getting buried in snow, you also have until Monday night to save up to $155 off of the walkup-rate.

We hope all those in the northeast stay safe and warm this weekend. We look forward to seeing you all in March!
