About ScreenBurn at SXSW

ScreenBurn at SXSW knows that freebies and awesome “swag” can turn the tide of an event from being merely “meh” to an event being “AWESOME!” We favor the latter here at ScreenBurn, and while many of the industry panels and other events require SXSW Interactive Gold or Platinum passes, there are just as many that require only one thing: you!

That’s right, ScreenBurn at SXSW wants you to come experience all the wonderfully free social gatherings and industry events it has to offer. ScreenBurn at SXSW Arcade is held Friday, March 12 - Sunday, March 14, 2010 and is located on the first floor of the Austin Convention Center. This is your gateway into the world of the industry: what’s new, what’s hot, what are the next big things you absolutely have to take part in, and more! Once you’ve had your fill of free fun (how could you?), head on over to The Mohawk on March 12 for free fun of a different variety with “Visions,” a one-of-a-kind multimedia event combining cutting-edge, live, digital and traditional art performances from the top film, video game and classically trained artists in the art world.

Peter Molyneaux has often been known for his eccentric and entertaining way of presenting game concepts and pushing the charge for more interactivity in gaming. His latest venture, Fable III, is no different, and thankfully ScreenBurn at SXSW has nabbed the creative mind to push his inspiring way of thinking to the masses in his own panel, "The Emotion Engine: Can a Video Game Speak to the Heart?"

When you've worked at ScreenBurn for a while, you tend to notice a good thing when you see it. Well, ScreenBurn at SXSW has found just that and is proud to announce the 2010 ScreenBurn at SXSW Arcade Presentation + Music Stage Sponsor: Massive Black!
