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.

Black women and entrepreneurship may be new to some but we have a long standing tradition of turning barriers into motivators as entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurship brings about fulfillment and the unique opportunity to create the lives we want to live – the opportunity to thrive off our creative talents.
So we work tirelessly to do just that.
To create a legacy.
To uplift your community.
Even with our long standing history in entrepreneurship, the lack of available mentors and ability to access strong networks (along with a long list of other challenges) isolates us in our entrepreneurship journey.
We’re creating the space for black women entrepreneurs to build stronger networks by engaging with existing black women business owners. Make·Do is a platform created for women like you to serve as champions for black women creative entrepreneurs and elevate your brand while doing so.
