SXSW Eco Events
From dining in an organic farm's pecan grove to watching the sunset exodus of the world's largest urban bat colony, last year’s special events were wide-ranging and well-received. This year we are planning more excursions that will provide an unforgettable chance to meet fellow attendees during an experience that is wholly unique to Austin and SXSW Eco.
