• A live real-time running stream of SXSW social conversations

"South by Southwest marks the largest convergence of influencers and innovators in 2015. Sysomos is committed to keeping the 72,000 visitors on the ground and millions more across the web part of the conversation," said Jeff Cann, senior director of customer experience at Sysomos. "This dashboard will allow anyone to visualize real-time trending SXSW topics and enhance their experience by staying current on the most meaningful discussions."

This partnership comes on the heels of a newly released Sysomos Heartbeat and MAP update that ushered in the next generation of social intelligence tools. Today, MAP and Heartbeat are the go-to social intelligence tools trusted by 80 percent of the world's most valuable brands, as ranked by Interbrand.
