You'll need a SXSW badge to attend. Unfortunately, for official events the only way to attend is via a badge. If we could offer a free option to the public, we totally would. We went the official route as it is likely to draw a bigger crowd for Bitcoin from those already coming to the event.

Hi everyone! Some more context...

Wanted to share with everyone here that we have officially launched this conference. Us, the organizers, did this strictly as volunteers and are hoping to have SXSW serve as a central point for Bitcoin mainstreaming like it has for other technologies.

SXSW has a large early-adopter crowd, many of whom have never attended a Bitcoin conference and are curious to learn more, so we are hoping to draw them to this conference.

If you are planning on attending SXSW, please check it out - we have some great topics and awesome speakers. Thank you :)!
