Tuesday, March 13 Events: Interactive Awards Ceremony
For 2012, the SXSW Interactive Festival begins Friday, March 9 and runs through Tuesday, March 13. While the lineup for the first day of the event is strong (consider, for instance, the traditional "Mix at Six" reception), the content for the final day is even stronger. Said another way, if you aren't staying through the end of the day on Tuesday, March 13, then you are missing out some of the event's coolest content!
