ROBINSON FREDERICK

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.

Final Farewell 

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.

PEOPLE TO SEE

CAMILA & ARJUN

The head honchos will kick the night off with a toast. They’ll probably tell the hilarious story about how they thought up LifeSwap. And hopefully they’ll remember to tell you that everyone who attends the party is gets $100 in Airway Bed credit.

LIFESWAP

ROBINSON FREDERICK

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 withthe CTO of Airway Bed 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 party around.

CTO

AIRway Bed

QUINN THE IRISHMAN

Camila’s brother was the world’s worst DJ. His taste in music is awful. He once played the hokey pokey in the middle of a huge techno dance party. He thought it’d be funny. The only part he was good at was hyping up the crowd. So that’s what he does now.

EVENT MC

CIARAN, LLC.

DJ ZENY

He’s a master at curating tunes that suit the mood. And the mood of this party will be a Good Mood. A Fun Mood. A Dancey Mood. Zeny’s going to kill it.

STILES SWITCH

Damn good Texas BBQ. Taste it once, and you’ll wish you could taste it every day forever and ever. We can vouch for that.
