Are Nerds Going to Nerd Spring Break?

by Larry Chiang on March 8, 2023

By Larry Chiang


The tent pole franchise that’s South By Southwest is in jeopardy. SXSW in Austin Fizzles at EDU. With “.edu”Conference normally Wednesday and Thursday before Sxsw, it’s Mon to Wed and it’s a ghost town. 


Sxsw Inc is coming outta recapitalization and reorganization 


Instead of relying on past glories…, let us get back to basics


2 problems with South By.


No official launch party to kick off South By.

No official closing party to book end South By.


Solution 

13th Annual Austin Launch Party 2023 at SXSW

March 9th. At the Four Seasons.

I’m not the only disappointed press badge holder, said Larry Chiang, a South By regular. “It’s kinda like when google canceled their Google Dance Franchise. It is not like Google’s not making money. It was having a great year. The fact that it’s not opening up their campus — it’s a fundamental shift in the way that Google used to be cool but now is corporate.”


Google started dying right after google dance


Problem

No sxsw closing party


Solution 

We bookend South By with a closing event

AMC Fan Hosted Dungeons and Dragons Formal and Cosplay Closing SXSW

March 18

8-11pm

JW Marriott
