Google’s coming to Austin for SXSW
March 11, 2010
Like many of you out there, we’re gearing up for the
SXSW Interactive Festival
, which starts tomorrow, March 12 in Austin, TX. In just a few short hours, dozens of Googlers and YouTubers will be descending on Austin for a packed weekend of panels, demos and parties. Of course, we’ve also got a few fun things up our sleeve:
Representatives from Google and YouTube will be speaking on
more than 20 panels
on a variety of subjects, including open source, mobile, real-time communication and user experience design.
At the Google booth, we’ll be doing
demos
on a wide range of products, including Google Maps, Blogger, Wave, Reader and YouTube, and sessions on building apps for App Engine, extensions on Chrome and accessibility APIs and hacks for Android.
On Sunday, our all-day
Hackathon
will give you the chance to get your hands dirty and build applications using a variety of Google technologies. At the end of the day, we’ll award prizes, including Android phones, for the best apps.
We’re sponsoring the festival’s first
Mothers’ Room
, where nursing moms can go for comfort and privacy.
Finally, we’ll be seeing you at as many parties as we can go to at one time, including
Bikehugger’s Mobile Social
, where representatives from the Google Maps team will be handing out schwag and dishing dirt on how they
built bike directions
, the
Blogger/Reader party
, where you’ll have a chance to chat with members of those teams about
new
features
, and (last but not least) the
SXSW Film Closing/Music Opening
, co-sponsored by YouTube and VH1.
You can read more about all of the Google happenings on our
SXSW website
, and follow
@googlesxsw
on Twitter for last-minute updates and news from Austin. We can’t wait to hit the ground running (or biking), and we look forward to seeing you there!
