About Austin
Austin. It's the capital of the state of Texas, but it's also the live music capital of the world.
- Moody's Economy.com calls it the best place for business in the U.S.
- It's one of Fast Company's "fast cities" for 2007.
- 75% of its population is under 45 years of age, and 47% are people of color.
- It’s home to Dell, Whole Foods, and a host of new-media and entertainment organizations.
- It has the highest number of WiFi hot spots per capita in North America.
Austin: where history meets high-tech and country meets hip-hop. It’s a great match for OD and OD Network Conference 2008.
Prepare to have your idea of "Texas" overturned. The gateway to the Texas Hill Country, Austin is famous for its lush scenery. 300 days of sunshine each year make it easy to get out and enjoy! Austin ranked second on Money magazine’s Top 25 Best Big Cities to Live in 2006.
Historical landmarks? Of course! The State Capitol, the University of Texas campus, and the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum are just a few.
Music? Did we mention that Austin is the live music capital of the world? Whatever you want to hear, it's playing—seven nights a week. Every year, Austin hosts not only the Austin City Limits Music Festival but also the music industry conference South by Southwest.
Food? Oh, yeah. Austin is home to the Texas Hill Country Wine and Food Festival every spring. Of course you can get great Tex-Mex or barbeque—but you can also find outstanding sushi, Italian specialties, four-star haute cuisine, whatever your heart and taste buds desire.
Arts? The Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art on the UT-Austin campus has recently brought together several outstanding UT collections. The Austin Museum of Art has two locations. There are scores of smaller museums, including the Mexic-Arte Museum, and many independent galleries.
Austin—it's an OD kind of place. Join us at OD Network Conference 2008!
