One of the most fun ways to get a peek into another person’s life is to experience their city like a local would -- with a homebase in a their space. LifeSwap takes the fun of living how a stranger does one step further. We’ve teamed up with AirBnB to give you a taste of what it’s like to step into someone else’s shoes. We can safely say that this is the best giveaway of any SXSW party around.
Day 4 is about the word on every marketer’s mouth. Everyone’s focusing on it, but it’s not a focused word. What does it mean exactly? Why does it matter? And how do we do it right? Attend small group workshops about mobile ads, mobile responsive site and mobile app development. Learn about the rapid rise of mobile browsing (and what that means to us) in our interactive globe installation. And hear from Ruth McCarthy, Founder of Mobili Media, about how to get caught up -- and then get ahead.
Following the success of our first SYNTHESIS event last year, LOOMIA is back with a Blockchain-focused networking and educational evening featuring the brightest stars in blockchain technology.
Last year, we had attendees and executives from major companies such as Flextronics, I am+ (Will.i.am's wearable Tech Brand), and RGA. Join us this year to learn about LOOMIA's blockchain initiatives and to hear about the future of this emerging industry.

USING THE BLOCKCHAIN TO CATALOG THE CATALOG,
APPAREL'S $100 BILLION MISSING DATA PROBLEM
When a product leaves the store, brands have no real way of understanding how their products perform in the real world, what the user experience or interaction is. Brands want to understand their customers and spend millions of dollars through disjointed channels to get product data. LOOMIA is set to bridge this gap with the use of it's technology and the blockchain.
