Partnership To Foster Startup Activities At The 2014 South By Southwest Conference
In an effort to promote and enhance Greater Des Moines’ (DSM’s) Startup Community, the Greater Des Moines Partnership will be giving out two South By Southwest (SXSW) badges to local startups. Appropriately named, DM Startups Take SXSW, this contest will send two different startup ventures to the interactive festival that features five days of presentations from the brightest minds in technology and scores of exciting networking events hosted by industry leaders. From creative workshops to big-picture analysis of the future, SXSW Interactive has become the place to experience a preview of what is unfolding in the world of technology.
Interested participants are encouraged to fill out this application. The winners of the DM Startups Take SXSW will be notified by the end of January. Two packages will be awarded. Each package includes one badge to SXSW interactive and a travel allowance of up to $800 to be applied toward air/ground transfer and lodging. The application deadline is Thursday, Jan. 30, 2014.
