Events for March 2018 – Blockchain Beach

South by Southwest (SXSW) has grown over the past three decades from its humble beginnings into a phenomenon that transforms Austin, Texas for 10 days every March. The conference brings together an influential crowd in tech, film, and music and covers emerging trends in the creative and entertainment industries. This year's conference stretches from March 9-18th with SXSW Interactive Festival kicking off the festivities from March 9-13. SXSW Interactive provides a variety of compelling programming tracks for attendees to explore. Since we expect that Blockchain, decentralization, and token economics will be some of the hottest topics this year, we've curated a "Blockchain Priority Track" for festival attendees. Also, after the convention center floor closes, Austin's party scene provides plenty of options for the crypto crowd to meet and mingle. Here's Blockchain Beach's full guide to cryptocurrency/blockchain events and parties at SXSW 2018.
