 Spring is on its way, ushering in a horde of conferences, conventions and festivals. Perhaps it's something in the air? The Brown Paper Tickets crew will be attending two different festivals during the month of March - South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, TX and the Winter Music Conference (WMC) in Miami, FL.
SXSW is in its 21st year, and has three different festivals: Music, Interactive, and Film. We'll be at our tradeshow booth, #311, all festival long, from March 7th - 16th. WMC turns 23 this year, and we'll be at our booth in the exhibition room from March 25th - 29th. It's our first year exhibiting at these conferences, and we're excited to experience them! If you're attending either, please pop by and say hi!
Our decision to exhibit and gain more of a public presence came hand in hand with increased media coverage. As more and more people spread the word about Not-Just-For-Profit and the BPT philosophy, we're being approached for more interviews by the press. SXSWorld, the official magazine of SXSW, chatted with us for an article in their February issue - if you can get your hands on a copy, check us out on page 6! If you'd like to read it online, it can be found here, and we're on page 8. We were also interviewed for a segment on NPR's Marketplace - you can read the interview, or listen to the podcast, here!
