SXSW Interactive closing party posterMedia Temple, longtime SXSW Interactive Closing Party sponsor, knows how to throw an epic party. In addition to The Joy Formidable and Local Natives, we are thrilled to now reveal that electronic music visionaries’ deadmau5 and Richie Hawtin will be joining the phenomenal lineup for a one time performance together of stripped-back techno.

Remember, the Interactive Closing Party kicks off at 9:00pm at Stubb's on Tuesday, March 12, and is open to Interactive, Gold and Platinum badgeholders.

Great SXSW sessions are followed by killer parties, meaning the next day can be rough. Hipstamatic can help you rally.

Live music by Capital Cities, Neon Indian (DJ set), Guards, Quiet Company, The Limousines (DJ set), and more. There’s even a Bloody Mary bar...what are you waiting for?

This accomplished panel brings together the minds actor Adrian Grenier (SHFT), musician Ryan Bingham, as well as Peter Glatzer (SHFT), Stephen Fox (Drink Water), Lisa Pike Sheehy (Patagonia) with Theo Ianuly and Geoff Stanfield of Gist Lab to discuss how they try to inspire each other and their audiences towards social change.

Sit in on Monday, March 11th from 5pm-6pm at Next Stage as these panelists deliberate on what it takes to engage today’s media-driven consumers and share their experiences on mobilizing the masses for the greater good.

The productivity of the average worker has skyrocketed thanks to technology, but it comes at the price of a sedentary lifestyle. Mounting research suggests that sitting at your desk for eight hours a day can have a dramatic impact on your health. With the technology to support mobile workstyles and a remote workforce, why are any of us still caught in the quagmire of the daily commute to our deadly desks, and will we ever see the day where big business decides to kill the office instead of its workers? The answer is YES! And it’s already happening.

Join this session on Saturday, March 9th, 3:30-4:30p at the Courtyard Marriott in the Rio Grande Ballroom and hear from thought leaders:
