It’s that time of the year. Startups, brands and ad agencies will all make the pilgrimage to Austin in order to pay homage to the power of technology — and to eat brisket and guzzle Lone Stars.

SXSW has become the conference people love to hate.

And yet SXSW morphs each year. As a service to readers, Digiday has tapped into over a decade of collective experience in attending SXSW in order to determine once and for all what’s in and what’s most definitely out at SXSW this year.
