Best.Tour.Ever
With so many events and activities going on downtown, we want to try something new: a Walk and Talk for visiting several Houses and Activations. The tour and chat will be led by long-time SXSW enthusiast, Marc Nathan (VIP Insider's Guide: https://bit.ly/sxswvip & Austin Active Networking https://www.austinactivenetworking.com/) and proudly sponsored by Michael Best & Friedrich, LLP (https://www.michaelbest.com).
The 'Walk and Talk' concept is borrowed from iconic Austin-style events such as The Board Walks https://www.theboardwalks.com, FoundHER's Walk and Talks (https://luma.com/8xpyxjsy), and The Trail Talks (https://partiful.com/e/AONN9jVam57pzT1JNv8E). Think of it as a 'pub crawl', but for business. We expect a lot of Austin locals, visiting friends, and founders for a lively conversation about growing your company.
We will meet at the Michael Best offices in the heart of downtown and walk as a group to interesting places around the area. This walk is a low-physical impact (but high mental impact) activity, so don't worry about keeping up. The journey is the destination.
