Join us in supporting Houston’s creative and innovative community! We seek Sponsors to help defray costs and ensure that the event can remain free for anyone and everyone who wants to stop by and support Houston@SXSW. To ensure Sponsors and participants get maximum exposure, the event will be open to all (no badge necessary!); and we will execute a full marketing and social media campaign to build awareness, buzz and attendance. We strongly believe in #SLGT – “Support Local, Grow Together” - and promoting the great talent, businesses and community that Houston has to offer. We aim to bring it all together under one roof at SXSW for others to learn about and experience. We invite you to play an important role in helping make this happen – and to benefit from its goodwill and publicity - by joining us as a Houston@SXSW Sponsor.
