Microsoft’s headed to Austin for the annual South by Southwest gathering in Austin, and this year the company is an official sponsor of the event, which combines tech, music and film into one entertaining and educational festival and conference.
Several events will be held at the Microsoft Studio, 323 Congress Ave. in Austin, to showcase the company's innovations in music, gaming, travel, photography and social media from Windows, Xbox, Surface, Windows Phone, Microsoft Research and more.
Microsoft is also hosting a special performance by DJ, music journalist and record producer Questlove, probably best known as the drummer and joint front man for The Roots. He will perform on his Windows PC at the Microsoft Studio on Saturday, March 8.
You can RSVP, or if events are full up, be added to a wait list here.
