First DIG South Festival is This Weekend

First of its kind event comes to TD Arena.

In case you haven't heard, the economy, our lives, the world are now digital. In recognition of this fact, some of the most creative minds in the Lowcountry have put together DIG South, the Southeast’s first and only interactive festival exploring the digital economy.

Things kickoff today and continue with a virtually non-stop schedule through Sunday.

Modeled after the world-famous SXSW Festival in Austin, TX, the theme for the first year of DIG South is the intersection of technology, social media, marketing and the arts.
