Career-enhancing connections make the SXSW Interactive Festival so special to so many digital creatives. Come to Austin in March to connect yourself (or your company) to the new ideas, new technologies and new business opportunities that will shape the future, as well as game-changing insights from the world's most innovative thought-leaders. Registration for the 2014 SXSW Interactive Festival opens the first week of August 2013 -- buy your badge early to take advantage of the lowest prices and the best selection of lodging.
Great SXSW sessions are followed by killer parties, meaning the next day can be rough. Hipstamatic can help you rally.
The Morning After brunch at Haus of Hipstamatic brings together live music, food, friends, and photos so you can relive the disaster/awesomeness from the night before, and prep for a repeat performance.

SXSW Video offers many fine content options including music videos, film trailers and clips from past performances and featured speakers.
Why, you could hang out and watch FKi featuring Retro Sushi's video for "Stuntin." It takes place in front of a Waffle House and features a bike gang, something we're fond of here at the SXSW. Also, I sort of love that there's someone in the world called Retro Sushi.
