SXSW, one of the world’s leading trade festivals for music and interactive content, this year welcomes the largest delegation from Great Britain and Northern Ireland ever to attend the event.

As part of SXSW, UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) will host a specially curated half-day event, showcasing UK creative excellence.

The event – ‘Content, New Technologies and the Consumer Experience’ – will take place at the Hilton Garden Inn, 500 North IH 35, Austin, Texas, on Tuesday 16 March 2010, 10.30am – 6pm and will include a networking lunch. It will be a centrepiece of the UK presence at SXSW, providing the perfect platform for UK companies looking to build their network of US partners, clients, customers and contacts.

Focusing on business opportunities around new technologies, digital and mobile, the event will include panel discussions with key industry representatives, as well as networking and speed networking sessions between specially invited US and UK companies.

Ted Cohen’s TAG Strategic, the leading Digital Media consulting agency, has been specially commissioned to organise the event on behalf of UKTI. The agency has enlisted senior executives from brands, music services, rights owners and artist management to engage with delegates in a series of panels, networking breaks and keynote addresses.
