It’s our seventh year in a row powering the official SXSW GO mobile app and our team is getting ready to head down to Austin for SXSW 2017. Every year we work closely with SXSW and put our heads together to determine how we can push the boundaries to showcase innovative mobile technology. This year is no exception, and we’re excited to announce the release of “Abby” – an automated bot that will answer attendee questions with personalized recommendations.


If you’re heading to SXSW this year, here are a couple sessions and events where you’ll find our team.
