It was different being home this year when we should've been at Bean. The wise call was made to postpone due to pandemic. Fest family came to the rescue with videos, photos, stories, encouraging well wishes and donations. But man, the last nine festivals- they all just go by so darned fast! Sort of like baking the perfect cake and inviting friends over to help you eat it. It’s gone before you know it. We all plan year round to make this festival happen and to attend.

Ideas that will renew your hope in tomorrow. Our ability to rewrite the future. The opportunity to connect with people and reboot your skills. 

This is what we’re bringing you in March at SXSW Online 2021. A unique digital experience where you’ll engage with speakers from across the globe, watch new projects from innovative talents, and catch sets from an array of acts. 

It’s time to say goodbye to 2020 and ARISE to a new year!
