From March 16-20, thousands will gather for the South by Southwest Music and Film Interactive in Austin, Texas, where music, film and technology meet to promote creative and professional growth. Antendees will engage in panel discussions, networking opportunities, film screenings and live musical performances on over 80 stages.
