DIG SOUTH sessions will examine the conditions that uniquely position Charleston and the Southeast as hot spots for the knowledge economy. Who are the innovators? What are the new platforms? And, how is technology enhancing our economy and impacting our quality of life?

DIG SOUTH will connect leading brands with the smartest startups to discuss brand storytelling, e-commerce, mobile marketing, software solutions, app development, location-based promotions, design, creativity, viral video, indie music marketing, social media, startup funding, creative collaborations, the evolution of culture and much more.

"It's time to shine a national spotlight on the brilliant things happening in the Southeastern knowledge economy," says Stanfield Gray, executive producer of DIG SOUTH. "Why go to SXSW interactive to see what's happening in our own backyard?"

Attendees will include digital marketers and strategists, technology executives, entrepreneurs, arts professionals, musicians, researchers, inventors, investors, media planners and buyers, publishers, software developers, designers and many other creatives.

Participants will connect and share pathways to success in the information age. Product demos, entertainment showcases and other special events will be presented throughout.
