SXSW: So Nice We’re Doing it Twice!

We had such a great time at SXSW last year, we’re coming back again!

ModSquad’s Operations Center in Austin, Texas has been up and running since May 2017, and we’ve become full-fledged Austinites, replete with our love of BBQ (here’s looking at you, Amy K!), great music, and all things weird. So when one of the biggest events in town comes around, you know that ModSquad will be there to represent. As we noted last year, we won’t have far to travel to get to this year’s South by Southwest (SXSW) conference.

The Mods from Austin and beyond will be converging upon the fest’s trade show exhibition, which takes place Sunday, March 11 through Wednesday, March 14 at the Austin Convention Center. As always, SXSW is a gathering of disruptive upstarts and established powerhouses from the worlds of film, music, and interactive. The event’s trade show is similarly focused on both the best and brightest of up-and-coming business and the leaders in a diverse range of fields, from tech to creative to science.

Last year, we met hundreds of enthusiastic business professionals and spirited entrepreneurs, along with students and fans. It’s a unique blend of smart, engaged people from across the spectrums of age, background, and interests, but all with an unquenchable thirst for learning, exploration, and discovery — just like our Mods! It was great to introduce ModSquad and our service offerings to such a wide range of people, and we made many new friends and business partners at the show.

We also got tremendous feedback on our experiential set design, which was a hit both at the trade show and on social media. If you thought our space last year was a hoot, well, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet! Be sure to visit us this year to see the ultimate Mod aesthetic come to life. We’ll be posting a more in-depth preview of this year’s SXSW in the weeks to come, but plan to stop by our ModSquad Swingin’ Mod Lounge, #417 on the Trade Show floor. (Tip: You’ll want to mark your calendar and plan to join us for happy hour at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 11.)

Until then, be sure to catch up on your sleep, because when SXSW rolls around, you won’t want to miss a thing. We’ll be right there with you, enjoying the spectacle and wonder, and we’d love to see you.
