One of the most fun ways to get a peek into another person’s life is to experience their city like a local would -- with a homebase in a their space. LifeSwap takes the fun of living how a stranger does one step further. We’ve teamed up with AirBnB to give you a taste of what it’s like to step into someone else’s shoes. We can safely say that this is the best giveaway of any SXSW party around.
Day 4 is about the word on every marketer’s mouth. Everyone’s focusing on it, but it’s not a focused word. What does it mean exactly? Why does it matter? And how do we do it right? Attend small group workshops about mobile ads, mobile responsive site and mobile app development. Learn about the rapid rise of mobile browsing (and what that means to us) in our interactive globe installation. And hear from Ruth McCarthy, Founder of Mobili Media, about how to get caught up -- and then get ahead.

"Atlanta is filled with talented artists and filmmakers, but we rarely have the space or time to focus on non-commercial work. Here’s an opportunity for people to experiment with different mediums and create something a new, sensory-stimulating experience" - Linda McNeil
""We loved doing Earth, our last projection art show, at MOTHER because they really welcomed us in and supported what we were doing. This time it’s even more involved and they’re really letting us takeover the upstairs for what will be an immersive and fun event that celebrates space exploration and the moon landing." - Alan Steadman
“In creating our cocktail program for MOON BAR we drew from the color and texture profiles of outer space, as well as themes of exploring the unknown, new experiences, and adventure. We will also be serving a space-themed snack program, including tasty but playful updates on astronaut food" - MOTHER Bar Manager David Stedman
