SXSW Accelerator

Showcasing Digital Convergence in Action

Two years ago, a San Francisco-based start-up released their little-known networking tool to SXSW Interactive attendees. The buzz they created via this process was incredible -- indeed, SXSW is credited as the tipping point for Twitter becoming a mainstay of the tech community.

Now there is a forum for other companies to make a similar impression to the thousands of geeks who come to Austin every spring: SXSW Accelerator. This event allows bleeding-edge companies to present their latest products and services to industry experts, early-adopters, bloggers, mainstream media reporters, and leaders of the venture capital community. From online audio / video applications to the latest ideas in social networking tools and innovative web-based technologies, SXSW Accelerator will showcase what is new and what is next.

SXSW Accelerator is open to all Interactive, Film, Music, Gold and Platinum badge-holders, thereby bringing together the three quickly-converging industries that make up the SXSW family of events. Whether you are releasing a new product or just looking for new trends, this event is for you!
