What's The CTX Today? Cool Tech At Pavilion + Passion Pit, The Weeks and The Lonely Biscuits At The Lyric

Ever heard of South by Southwest event in Austin, Texas? Well, think of CTX sponsored by C Spire and being held today, as a one-day, immersive, Ole Miss version of SXSW that you won’t want to miss.
 
If the immersive tech experience and great speakers (Brian Uzzi, Randi Zuckerberg and Michelle McKenna Doyle) weren’t enough of a draw at the Pavilion tomorrow afternoon…the concert afterwards at the Lyric, featuring Passion Pit, The Weeks and The Lonely Biscuits, is worth the ticket price in itself. And better yet, there’s a free Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality experience and a variety of booths and demonstrations for everyone from 10:00 a.m. – 1:45 p.m. for those who want to just check it out first!
 
According to Michael Stevens, with C Spire’s Major Marketing Initiatives, “This event is designed to inspire ideas and interest around STEM programs and technology around our state. C Spire is in a good position to be able do something like this, and we are fortunate that Ole Miss wanted to partner with us.”
 
Student tickets to CTX are  $12.50 for the Tech events and $30 for the Tech plus Tunes at the Lyric. Those who want to go to the concert need to act quickly and buy a ticket soon, as there is a limited number available.
