Welcome to SXSW Interactive
Welcome to the 2014 SXSW Interactive Festival. We're excited that you'll be joining us for 5 days of amazing panel content and networking events. SXSW is a community event, so we invite you to come kick off the event with us, ask SXSW Interactive Director Hugh Forrest any questions you might have, and introduce yourself to the other attendees you'll be sharing this experience with.
