SCHED* SXSW 2011

It's the fourth year of the best breakfast to open your SXSW weekend, and as usual Magnolia's Cafe is the place to start your SXSW experience in the company of friends, both new and old, at "The SXSW Social Breakfast." Everyone is welcome, this is an open invitation to share breakfast at one of Austin's greatest Cafe's (or at least one of the greatest I've found in many years at SXSW) on the first morning of the conference.

Magnolia's will be opening up the patio area for the meeting, and of course we'll have the rest of the restaurant for any overspill, so turn up, grab a table, and enjoy a great meal. You'll have plenty time to chat, have your coffee, and still make it back in time for the first sessions.

You say Tomato
We say Clamato 

But regardless what you call it- it’s still a hangover. Come get yourself a little hair of the dog before you head to your first morning session. From 9am to 11am Friday thru Tuesday.

C’mon you know you need one.

*Generously sponsored by Rovi

Join us for lunch, cocktails and interactive fun.

The Gist crew is heading to Austin and to get the day started, the drinks are on us. Bloody Mary's or coffee, it's up to you. We are bringing energy and some great people so we hope to meet you there!

Come hang out for a while, get your day started right and talk tech with folks from the Seattle (or anywhere) tech scene.

PSFK is the go to source for new ideas for creative business. Our events bring to life the discussion that takes place everyday on our site with a focus on particular areas of innovation.

For the PSFK SALON AUSTIN held at the Driskill Hotel during SXSW, we will bring together leading thinkers in mobile marketing together with experts featured in PSFK's Future of Mobile Tagging report. 

Marketers are using mobile technology to enhance consumer engagement at each stage of the traditional purchase path, impacting how shoppers move through it and sometimes transforming what the path looks like entirely. As part of this this event, PSFK will discuss with key experts themes that are emerging around the use of mobile tags and other innovations in mobile marketing. 

Come and visit us at the Squarespace Food Truck! We've teamed up with four of the hottest local street food vendors to bring you some tasty deliciousness each day of SXSWi. We'll be parked over at 5th & Neches (one short block from the convention center), and will be serving from 11am on March 11, 12, 13 and 14th.

March 12 - Gordough's 

• FLYING PIG - Bacon with Maple Syrup Icing
• BLACK OUT - Brownie Batter, Fudge Icing & Chocolate Covered Brownie Bits
• BOSS HOG - Potato Salad, Chopped BBQ, with Honey BBQ Sauce

Put on your craftin' hat and join Etsy at Venue 222 for an afternoon of creative making. We'll teach you how to make cool gadget cozies for all your tech gear, do some button-making, screenprint, and give you a chance to upcycle your SXSW gift bag into something awesome and unique. Plus, come meet and chat with the Etsy team and stay afterwards for other fun surprises (and swag!).

Meet, chat, mingle, and make. We'll be at Venue 222 all weekend with more workshops, panels, parties, and more.

We are creating a cluster of Canadian technology that will be featured as part of the lounge. It will act as a catalyst in promoting Canadian innovation to a large technology & media audience. 

The MLDL will feature Canada’s growing interactive digital media technology companies from the following industries: social media, mobile, marketing, multi-media, game development, web development or any related IT areas. At the event, each company will have a table set up/booth to showcase their technology over a two-day period.

Pat Ramsey, of the Austin WordPress Meetup, and I agreed that SXSW Interactive 2011 would be the perfect place to host another party. I then contacted Jason and Aaron at WP Engine, and they said:Count us in!

We picked a date and I contacted John Wickham to reserve Elysium for the event. When you combine Austin's WordPress community with all the WordPress users coming to Austin for SXSW, you'll need a big venue. Elysium is 3 blocks from the convention center, has a great stage and sound system, and can hold hundreds.
