SXSW Interactive is focused on emerging technology, a focus which has earned the festival a reputation as a breeding ground for new ideas and creative technologies. The festival includes a trade show, speakers, parties, and a startup accelerator.

The event brings together the biggest tech companies in the world, along with movie studios and music industry.

"It will be an honor to be featured in this festival. There is no other event in the world with this level of exposure to top mind brands. It is possible to talk to the biggest technologies companies in the world, and at the same time the biggest movie studios out there. It is perfect timing to correlate with our expansion of Arkave and our interactive entertainment vertical. We hope to greatly accelerate our presence in North America after the festival," said Daniel Japiassu, CEO of YDreams Global.

Part of the costs of being at the festival were covered by the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil), that works to promote Brazilian products and services abroad, and to attract foreign investment to strategic sectors of the Brazilian economy.
