One of the most fun ways to get a peek into another person’s life is to experience their city like a local would -- with a homebase in a their space. LifeSwap takes the fun of living how a stranger does one step further. We’ve teamed up with AirBnB to give you a taste of what it’s like to step into someone else’s shoes. We can safely say that this is the best giveaway of any SXSW party around.
Day 4 is about the word on every marketer’s mouth. Everyone’s focusing on it, but it’s not a focused word. What does it mean exactly? Why does it matter? And how do we do it right? Attend small group workshops about mobile ads, mobile responsive site and mobile app development. Learn about the rapid rise of mobile browsing (and what that means to us) in our interactive globe installation. And hear from Ruth McCarthy, Founder of Mobili Media, about how to get caught up -- and then get ahead.
Through words, physical movement and visual art these poets, dancers, graffiti artists and deejay will speak to the movements that sparked social change and influenced the culture in ways that led to grassroots revolutions. From the Civil Rights/Black Freedom Movement, Women's Liberation, Latinx movement of the past to the present day #Hashtag movements/Social Media trends that continue to fuel these movements that began in some form in the 20th Century. This event is intended to celebrate diversity, consciousness, and inclusion by acknowledging and celebrating the steps of progression towards equity and equality through artistic expression.
