SXSW: South By South West is where the industry meets to discuss the latest trends and opportunities

Established in 1994, SXSWi is now a byword for emerging media and a great networking opportunity for the companies attending. The participating companies will get some instruction on extending their business to the US, and showcasing the ‘BritPack’ scene at a ‘Great British Breakfast’ for 300 delegates during the conference.

The festival features five days of panel content, book readings, key note discussions and parties. Attracting digital creatives as well as visionary technology entrepreneurs, the event celebrates the best minds and the brightest personalities of emerging technology.

We’re joining some of the most innovative, auspicious SMEs in the UK, on the Digital Mission. This is a great opportunity for us to showcase our work in the US and to meet our counterparts from around the world.
