Geekazine Podcast [March 8-17]

One of the great people that we meet at CES was Jeffrey Powers from Geekazine. When we heard about an opportunity to sponsor his coverage at SXSW we couldn’t say no. Jeffrey plans on shooting over 20 Geekazine episodes at SXSW including several at the different Red Touch Media parties and events.

Viewers of Geekazine get a 20% discount in the Red Touch Media Store during the month of March. So be sure to checkout his podcast.

RVIP Lounge [March 14, Thursday]

Red Touch Media is very excited to sponsor the RVIP Lounge as part of our presence at SXSW 2013. For those of you who haven’t seen the RVIP Lounge in action yet, it is a mobile karaoke unit housed in a customized RV. The RVIP Lounge has become a SXSW tradition and it’s not uncommon to see several well known musicians or tech CEOs screaming singing their little hearts out.

We will be the exclusive sponsor of the RVIP Lounge during SXSW Music.

Red Touch Media is proudly sponsoring 2 UKTI events during SXSW Music:

“International Roundtables”
Date: Thursday 14th March Time: 10.45am – 1.00pm
This 2 hour networking activity will bring together delegates from across the globe to discuss hot topics affecting the industry, build networks and develop business relationships. Hosted in groups of 10 people, you will introduce yourselves and then discuss your chosen topic, with everyone being given opportunity to offer their opinions from their own experience, ask questions of others and explore new ideas. Each table will have a moderator. Red Touch Media’s CMO, Dave Alder, and VP of Content, Mitch Koulouris, will be participating in the event.

“International Business: Business Sessions”
Date: Friday 15th March Time: 10.45am – 1.00pm
This 2 hour networking activity will attempt to give you 5 minutes in front of as many international delegates as we can move round the room in the time available. The format is specifically designed to facilitate introductions and broker business connections with delegates from across the globe. The idea is to make as many introductions as possible and for you then to follow up in your own time, either whilst in Austin or once you’ve returned home.

LOCATION: The British Music Embassy (Latitude 30), 512 San Jacinto Blvd
BREAKFAST: Pastries, muffins, bagels and fruit with hot and cold drinks
