Started in 2009 as "Houston@SXSW," then "HoustonTXSW," The-Event-Formerly- Known-as-Houston@SXSW” has evolved into C2xSW – a full-fledged outreach initiative under the stewardship of C2 Creative, Houston's first 501c(3) nonprofit Creative Accelerator. Dedicated to fostering creative commerce and community, C2 Creative has adopted C2xSW in its mission to support and promote Greater Houston's creative community.
C2xSW 2012 will unite and highlight local film, interactive/tech and music talent through "The Official Unofficial All of Where the Wild Things Are Interaction Packed Adventure Extravaganza!” orbiting the annual SxSW conference in Austin. We aim to showcase Houston on a global scale, proactively engaging inter/national thought leaders and influencers to connect them with Houston creators and innovators, and developing an online directory and virtual archive that extends past the conference and lives on as a creative community resource.
More than your average SxSW “booze & bcards” party, C2xSW is a public event (no badge necessary!) concocted by many of the same people behind awesomenesses(es) like TEDx Houston ... so if you don't have fun, we're going to have to check your pulse.
From March 9 to March 12, we'll take you on Wild Interaction-Packed Adventure highlighting:
* A Tour of un$x$W, including stops at Silicon Prairie and NOLA
* The Extravaganza on March 12, 6pm-9:30pm at Hudson on Fifth in Austin, featuring (some are legacy sponsors from 2009 on...we'll update this list as new adventurers get on board!):
* Interactive Film & Music Multi-Sensory Stations presented by PKF Texas, C2xSW's preferred accounting firm; ChaiOne, the rockingest mobile agency for enterprise; and Houston Business Journal.
* Design elements by AIGA Houston, Always Creative, Culture Pilot and Primer Grey.
* Interactive visualizations and multimedia projections by Culture Pilot and LD Systems.
* Guerilla street marketing by Free Press Houston and The Black Sheep Agency.
* Filmmaker screenings and film/video clips curated by the Houston Film Commission, Aurora Picture Show and SWAMP (SouthWest Alternate Media Project).
* Soundtracks of “The Best of Houston Music” selected by music journalists and mavens at the Houston Chronicle, Houston Press, Free Press Houston and Space City Rock.
We support Houston’s creative innovators and talent, and we want to ensure they receive maximum benefit and exposure at SxSW. To achieve this, WE NEED YOUR HELP to make C2xSW free and open to everyone! Donations and sponsorship support from forward-thinkers like you will help C2 Creative promote our great city, and welcome anyone and everyone from around the world at SxSW to join us and share in the best of Houston!
To get involved, support C2xSW as a Sponsor - all proceeds go to event expenses, and anything left will support the C2 Creative Accelerator program - or volunteer to help as we prepare for the conference! For more info, you can reach us at: twitter.com/houstontxsw or facebook.com/HoustonTXSW
