Survival Tips

EAT

SLEEP

PACE YOURSELF

TAKE BREAKS

FIND FREE STUFF

RELY ON FRIENDSYELP

GOOGLE MAPS

EXPERIMENT

BE FLEXIBLE

WEAR COMFY SHOES

HYDRATE

Find some Bleeding Hearts and get them to sneak you into places

Some folks are focused on dealmaking, product

launches and startups...

...while others are a bit more accessible.

I’m being serious.

SXSWi is about saying “Yes.”

People want to hang with others who are sending out positive vibes.

Find some folks who feel authentic to you, and spend your time with them.

There’s really no wrong way to do this...
