Here in Austin, TX we’re already gearing up for a different kind of “March Madness”—the kind that brings tens of thousands of artists, creators, and innovators right to our doorstep to celebrate emerging ideas in film, music, and—our personal favorite—cutting-edge technologies and digital developments.

As an Austin-based technology company, we get amped up every year when the adventure that is SXSWi takes over downtown. We’re even more excited that we get to host, entertain, and shine the spotlight on some of our incredible customers. We can’t wait to have them all in one place to connect, exchange #socbiz knowledge, and cut loose with their peers. Come join us this year for a week of networking, social strategy sharing, and a great time.

Spredfast is hosting several special events and parties that you should add to your SXSW Schedule:

SXSWi Kickoff Bash: Friday, March 8, 6pm-9pm, Speakeasy
Spredfast will take over all three floors of Speakeasy for a night of fun, music, bowling, and networking with the biggest brands in social. Keep up with all of SXSW conversations by watching the social wall set up courtesy of our friends at Mass Relevance. Share your picture perfect moments with the crowd by tagging all of your post, tweets & check-ins with #SXspredfast!

#Connect: Saturday, March 9, 2:30 – 4pm, Cedar Street
This is a must-attend, intimate networking event for social media professionals. Come
connect with the social movers and shakers from some of the world’s biggest brands and walk away with more #socbiz know-how and elite professional connections than you could get in a week of attending panels. This invite only event is for customers and partners that are serious about staying social.

Social Suite: March 8 – 12, Spredfast HQ
