*ahem*
Pardon my excitement at not having to endure the shuttle ride to the far side of the seemingly insurmountable Lady Bird Lake to get to the Gaming Expo.
SXSW has announced that SXSW Gaming has shifting its dates and location! Previously set in the Palmer Events Center on the South side of Lady Bird Lake, it was the opposite of SXSW Interactive both in Place and time. I was always torn between attending Interactive and Gaming sessions and events. BUT NO MORE!
SXSW Gaming will now take place in the Austin Convention Center March 17-19, after SXSW Interactive! No longer will you be forced to choose sides! it is a TOTAL win-win for everyone attending SXSW 2016!
Here is SXSW’s announcement:
