We’ve Got Surprises For You at SXSW in Austin
We’re DTFiesta in Austin. Join OkCupid all week for music, panels and freebies
Everything is bigger in Texas—including OkCupid’s presence in Austin for SXSW, a celebration of the convergence of the interactive, film, and music industries. All this week, we’re chatting stereotypes in dating, podcasting about ghosting, and throwing you a (really big) party. OkCupid is taking over Austin during SXSW — and we’d love to see you there. Here’s where you can find us.
‘Why’d You Push That Button’ Live with The Verge
Get spooked (sort of) and chat ghosting on dating apps with OkCupid’s Engineering Manager Jordan at Why’d You Push That Button Live with the Berge— a podcast about the choices technology forces us to make. Listen to the live stream at 4:00 PM CST on the Why’d You Push That Button podcast, or RSVP here.
When: Friday, March 9
Where: The Belmont, 305 W 6th St.
Time: 4:00 PM CST

Better Than Stereotypes | Challenging View of Race, Gender, Sex and Age
Since the dawn of OkCupid, we’ve openly discussed stereotypes and the importance of inclusivity. Now you can join our Engineering Manager Jordan on the Better Than Stereotypes panel and learn about how OkCupid challenges the status quo today more than ever. RSVP here.
When: Saturday, March 10
Where: Capital Factory, 701 Brazos St., Voltron Room
Time: 3:00 PM CST

Finding Magic Moments: How to Look Beyond the Touchpoint
Data-driven. It’s something marketers know they should be—but infinite amounts of data and analytics don’t automatically translate into insights. Chat with our CRM Sr. Product Manager Ana about how she uses data to guide CRM choices at OkCupid to meet critical KPIs in a cross-platform world. RSVP here.
When: Saturday, March 10
Where: CB’s at Stubb’s Bar-B-Q, 801 Red River St.
Time: 9:00 AM CST

The Lost Weekend 2
If there’s one thing to catch during your time in Austin, it’s a sweet lineup of emerging bands. Together with BrooklynVegan, we’re bringing you The Lost Weekend 2 — three days of great music and partying, plus OkCupid swag, a photo booth, and one complimentary drink with an OkCupid profile. The best part? It takes place at Austin favorite Cheer Up Charlie’s. RSVP here.
When: Thursday March 15 — Saturday March 17
Where: Cheer Up Charlies, 900 Red River St.
