ARCADE to attend SXSW with UK Trade Mission

We are very excited to announce that Arcade will be returning to SXSW in 2023. Having debuted at the event in 2022 with our GPT3-driven interactive episodic series, Alone Together, we are heading back this year as part of the prestigious UK Trade Mission with the Department for Business and Trade.

As well as demo-ing some of our latest work, we will be part of the roundtable discussion, "How Creative Tech Deepens Place-Based Experience" on March 12 at UK House, the home for the best of British at SXSW.

Find out more about the Trade Mission and see what's on at UK House here.

You will also find the team at Niantic's SXSW HQ  showcasing, amongst other things, our Lightship-driven game, Bazaar, designed to create new reasons for communities to engage with local bricks-and-mortar retail.

Bazaar was developed in partnership with Niantic, in response to their 'Revitalising the High Street' challenge as part of Digital Catapult's recent Futurescope programme.

You can read more about Bazaar here, but if you're headed to Austin and want to see it in action (or possibly even collect some drops and claim a prize or two) then let us know!

The team will be in town from March 10-14, and hope to see as many of you there as we can at UK House, Niantic or just out and about at SXSW.
