Folks behind the mobile creation platform ShoutEm are teaming-up with GarysGuide for SXSW 2012, launching the “Austin Party Guide” app to offer the event attendees a “definitive guide to SXSW 2012 parties.”
Available as a free download for iOS and Android devices, the application features a categorized events schedule that further relies on location information to lead the way to the next networking opportunity… or a free drink. Moreover, there are news from the ShoutEm blog during the festivities, video footage from around Austin, ability to check-in to events to share photos and comments, and the Wall using which you can connect with other festival partiers.
Finally, ShoutEm is also offering free basic building service for those attending this year’s SXSW along with some free chocolates to “help keep energy up during the week’s events.” I say you should visit them if you’re in Austin. While there make sure to say “hi” to our very own Marin, who will bring us the cool stories from Texas. 😉
