Is anyone in town for SXSW in Austin this week?

It’s going on right now and the city is buzzing. There are so many sessions, screenings, showcases, and pop-up events on the agenda that it’s honestly hard to decide where to start.

SXSW is one of those events where tech, AI, film, music, and startups all collide in the same week, and people come from all over the world to share ideas, launch projects, and see what’s next across different industries.

This year it’s running March 12–18 across venues all over downtown Austin, with panels, film premieres, live music, and industry meetups happening pretty much all day and night.

If you’re in tech, AI, startups, film, or media, this is definitely the annual conference to attend!

Did you know over 50% of adults face loneliness? Busy lives make matching schedules with friends nearly impossible. OpenJio is a social coordination engine that facilitates new connections over shared activities. Users explore a map of "Vibes" (Trekking, Coffee, etc.). Unlike passive apps, OpenJio uses Commitment-First Logic:

→ Green Light Trigger: Chatrooms only unlock once there are enough interested. → Spot Confirmation: Real-time slot management ensures high-intent participation. → Karma System: Post-Jio survey rewards "Kakis" who show up. Building a global community: OpenJio is currently in beta in Singapore, but the logic is built to scale. Interested in collaborating to bring OpenJio to your country? Let’s talk!
