Up for another SXSW — .Co gears

Firm returns to Austin for sixth year.

sxsw-2016-logoThe .Co registry, now part of Neustar, is returning to Austin for its sixth straight appearance during SXSW.

It all kicks off with the .CO official SXSW happy hour this Friday night at The Backspace from 5-7.

.Co-ers are also invited to the Tech.CO Startup Night on Sunday, March 11 from 5-9 pm. Firms will pitch to Steve Case and be able to demo their wares.

Overlapping on Sunday is the Springboard Enterprises’ Dolphin Tank from 3-6 at Brass House. Five fashion startups will get to strut their stuff in conjunction with Springboard Enterprises and The Fresh York Fashion Tech Lab.

Additionally, executives at firms built on .co domain names will be on various panels. John Battelle (NewCo.co), Biz Stone (Jelly.co) and Kayode Owens (GetKite.co) all have panels, along with many other firms using .co domains.

.Co also gave away six full passes to SXSW Interactive this year.

More information and RSVP links are here.
