At South by Southwest but homesick for Philly?
VisitPhilly is throwing a Homesick Philly party at the festival on March 13. It’ll feature Philly musicians Chill Moody and Bleeding Rainbow and serve Victory Beer.
Last year, the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau flew a banner over Austin to promote Philly. Word is that they’ll be doing it again.
Find a list of Philly attendees below — last year’s local attendees can be seen here. You’ll be able to see some local talks. Get loud!
If we missed you, tell us in the comments and we’ll add you.
And don’t forget about our #notatSXSW party on March 11 for everyone else who won’t be flying to Austin. It’ll be at the Philly Game Forge in Old City and also serve as a way to get excited for the fast approaching Philly Tech Week Presented by AT&T (April 4-12).
