SXSW Interactive March 9–17 (Austin, TX)

SXSW.COM

This is one of the largest conferences in the world and not just for tech. They host three verticals, interactive, film, and music and all of the who’s who in tech and entertainment is there. You have to book ahead of time and mentally prepare for all of the content that is thrown at you. It’s also a good idea to map out a schedule ahead of time and note that it’s physically impossible to cover everything at once.
