Day Stage Café

The Day Stage Café is the place to grab a drink, connect to free wi-fi, relax and enjoy performances by showcasing artists in between sitting in on panels and workshops. Located on the fourth floor of the Austin Convention Center, registrants are able to catch a few extra quality performances from artists that they might miss during their packed nights of show hopping. In 2010, the Day Stage Café was presented by SESAC and SXSW partnered with seven different radio stations to broadcast and assist in curating the showcases. These stations included KCRW, KEXP, KPFT, KUT, KXT, WXPN, and The Current.

Plan on witnessing even more outstanding programming and partnerships this year. Details for the Day Stage Café 2011 coming soon!
