"Our 9 million Twitter followers make for one of the most influential and engaged audiences you’ll find anywhere," says Mashable Chief Content Officer Gregory Gittrich. "And if you’ve been to SXSW before, you’re familiar with the Mashable House, which is packed with the most exciting and creative people in town."
We're not naming names (yet), but you might even say hi to a ~celebrity~ or two.
To watch, you've got three easy options: we'll be streaming at sxsw.twitter.com, on Twitter's "Explore" tab, and on @mashable. The show will be available worldwide to audiences (whether you're logged in or not) on Twitter and all connected devices.
