EFF-Austin SXSW Meetup And Website Redesign Celebration!

Details

After two years of purely virtual meetups and events, EFF-Austin is tentatively entering the world of in-person events again, and you're invited! Whether you're an Austin native or will be in town for SXSW, join us at the downtown Austin public library from 3pm-5pm on Tuesday, March 15th for a free meetup, no badge required. Parking is available in the library's underground garage and is free for the first hour and reasonably priced after that time (https://library.austintexas.gov/central/parking).

We will be hanging out on the patio of the library's Cookbook Cafe, which also features a full bar for those who would like to join us in a drink, where we will be celebrating the recent redesign of our website (https://effaustin.org), as well as offering a gathering place for those visiting Austin during SXSW who care about digital civil liberties issues to hang out with local like-minded people (and what better place to gather than the library, which offers so many great digital resources for the community). We will have a sign identifying our table(s), and look for at least one person in an EFF hoodie.

At 5pm, assuming enough interest, our group will probably proceed to do some bar hopping to the Cedar Door and other bars in the vicinity of the convention center. Follow our twitter account (https://twitter.com/EFFaustin) the day of to get live updates on where we are and @ us if you are having trouble finding us. We hope to see you there!

COVID-19 safety measures

We will be adopting the library's rules regarding Covid protocols, whatever they are on the day of, as well as the rules of any bars we go to - we are unable to guarantee the vaccine status of those who might attend, so exercise your own discretion about whether this event is right for you given your risk profile.
The event host is instituting the above safety measures for this event. Meetup is not responsible for ensuring, and will not independently verify, that these precautions are followed.
