Are you a music fan?  Each year, CENTEX coincides with the final weekend of SXSW, the South by Southwest Music and Film Festivals.  Enjoy the show by coming a little early or hitting the town on Friday and Saturday nights.

"Austin's eclectic melting pot boils during the South by Southwest entertainment industry summit. Record-company executives, producers, dot-commers... and other movers and shakers descend on the city looking to discover the next hot musical act or independent filmmaker." -New York Times, February 17, 2002 

In March 2003, over fifteen thousand participants from the music, film and internet industries will converge at the Austin Convention Center over ten days to participate in three distinct yet related festivals, conferences and trade shows. Since its debut in 1987, SXSW has evolved into a unique global event focused on the creative side of the entertainment business.
Designed to function on many levels, SXSW is a place to showcase work, market products, foster relationships, discuss the future, learn and teach.
