Austin, Texas | March 9 - 13, 2012
Mark your calendar. Tune in to TechCrunch later today for a special show, live from the Austin Convention Center at SXSW. TCTV’s Colleen Taylor will host a roundtable with TechCrunch writers who have been running around the city non-stop. They will tell you about the best and worst of what they saw and might discuss TechCrunch Real World Austin. We’ll also speak with the Founder of the much talked about mobile awareness app (yes, it needs a better description) Highlight, Paul Davison.
Other top guests include Dave Morin, Founder of Path; Adam Goldstein, Co-Founder of Hipmunk; and Robert Scoble.
The show will be produced using the Tricaster at Newtek’s studio. If you are in Austin, join us on the 1st floor of the exhibit hall at Newtek booth #713.
