Welcome to Austin! Check out where to eat, drink and relax
Howdy and welcome to Austin, Texas! We’re so glad y’all decided to join us for the International Symposium on Online Journalism (ISOJ) in the best city in the great state of Texas!
We’re one of the most popular cities in the U.S. to visit and live. We’re also the Live Music Capital of the World and home to the world’s largest urban bat colony.
We know you’ll be busy with ISOJ panels, workshops, receptions and networking with new and old friends, but if you find some free time in our dear city, we’ve compiled some sites and guides to help you out. Feel free to ask any of the organizers for advice and recommendations!
Have fun and remember to Keep Austin Weird!
