It’s hard to keep track of everything happening around SXSW. Between the official, unofficial, pop-up, secret and so-secret they might not actually exist events, how do you navigate the chaos?
Enter Wanderless.
An eventcasting site created by Anthony DeGennaro and GSD&Mers Alex Roka and Joel Parr. Their site launched back in November to provide an event calendar for the people of Austin that was presented in a smart and well-filtered way. While the site does a great job for locals year-round, the site becomes particularly useful during SXSW.
They’ve created a special section dedicated to SXSW, sorting events by top events, music, film, interactive and arts & culture, the site is our go-to resource for finding out the places to be and how to RSVP.
