In addition to the Panels, Keynotes, Trade Show and Lounges in the Austin Convention Center, SXSW Interactive will have full slates of conference events at several centrally located campuses. Each campus will feature a different programming theme and will be easily accessible by foot or by the free circulating Interactive Campus Shuttles. To get the most benefit from your SXSW IA experience explore the themed campuses – the daily keynotes will be livestreamed to at least one room at each campus so there’s no need to rush back to the Convention Center to watch the keynote.

New for 2012: SXSW Interactive Campus Shuttles will operate daily during Interactive. The SXSW Interactive Campus Shuttles will provide Interactive registrants rides between the major Interactive conference campuses during the day. This service is free for Interactive, Gold and Platinum registrants.
