Austin

October 25

In Austin, live music spills from honky-tonks and dive bars, where rolling hill country meets a city pulsing with food trucks, tech startups, and late-night breakfast tacos. Here, musicians, coders, and creatives from South by Rainey to East Austin, and from Cedar Park to Pflugerville, converge to jam on groundbreaking concepts beneath the glow of neon signs and string lights. This is your invitation to plug into Austin's rhythm of authentic weirdness, entrepreneurial hustle, and keep-it-local spirit—forging partnerships as bold and unconventional as the capital city that dares to Keep Austin Weird.

XO Ruby Austin is a single-day, single-track conference designed to draw folks in from the city and the region. An approachable $100 ticket price coupled with no need for a hotel or airfare means you can connect with your community without breaking the bank.
