Scheduled during the SXSW Conference and Festival, the Summit offers attendees an opportunity to attend festival events and experience the top-caliber music, film and technology talent gathering in Austin from around the world. In addition to the official SXSW schedule, attendees can expect plenty of unofficial performances and events that take place alongside the festival that don’t require SXSW tickets. Also, the Austin Livestock Show and Rodeo is happening the same week providing a chance to enjoy Austin’s renowned southwestern culture.
What’s more, Nordic APIs is offering a special conference and hotel bundle featuring remarkably low hotel pricing. This offer is a rare chance to book a reasonably priced hotel room during SXSW when lodging across the city is difficult to find and typically priced at premium rates.
Austin API Summit is part of a series of API events hosted by Nordic APIs in locations throughout the world. The event series is one of the ways in which Nordic APIs serves its mission to help companies make smarter tech decisions using APIs. Nordic APIs was formed in 2013 and today unifies API practitioners globally through its online and in-person events as well its blog and digest.
The sponsors who are making this event possible include 42Crunch, Gravitee.io, liblab, Postman, Traefiklab, Kong, Lumin PDF, Zuplo and Nordic APIs. Austin API Summit is organized by Curity.
