But attending the "SXSW Newbie Meet Up" is a great way to connect with other newcomers -- as well as get solid March Madness survival tips from those who have experienced the event before.

First ever CrossFit Meet Up at SXSW! CrossFit is the world's fastest growing fitness phenomenon and is well suited for the SXSW festival. This is a great opportunity to meet with crossfitters from all around the world and exchange ideas regarding the business and competition.

CrossFit, the "Sport of Fitness," has grown from 70 participants in 2007 to more than 50,000 participants in this year's Open Competition and a grand prize of $250,000. This Meet Up will provide a medium to meet new friends, business partners or fellow competitors.
