You’re building something real, pushing boundaries, leading the conversation. But are you in the right room? Are you in front of the right people? Has your company or name spread enough to be recognized? At SXSW, there’s a lot of noise, but the real conversations? They happen here.

The Lively Grit Daily House isn’t just another event, it’s a private speakeasy experience bringing together some of the sharpest minds at SXSW for raw, unfiltered conversations. This is where industry leaders, innovators, and decision-makers come together — just blocks from the main convention center but miles away from the usual conference-room chatter.

This isn’t just an event. It’s an opportunity.

✅ Speak on a panel and position yourself as a thought leader in a room full of real decision-makers.
✅ Host a fireside chat to own the conversation around your industry’s biggest challenges and breakthroughs.
✅ Partner with us to create a unique brand presence in a space designed for meaningful engagement — not just passing foot traffic.

In a world drowning in AI-generated content and short-lived social trends, real voices stand out more than ever. This is your chance to connect, engage, and be part of the conversations that actually matter.

The old PR playbook of mass pitches, broad press releases, and hoping for coverage is failing. Journalists are drowning in hundreds of pitches a day, most of which go unread. The brands that win media attention now? They focus on precision, relationships, and relevance.

That’s why platforms like Press Hook are reshaping the industry. Instead of blasting out pitches and praying for responses, they help brands connect with the right journalists at the right time with pitches that actually matter. The result? A 5x higher media response rate than the industry average.

AI is making PR more efficient, but the real game-changer isn’t technology, it’s strategy. If you want to get noticed, you don’t need to pitch more. You need to pitch smarter.

We track our own sleep, steps, and stress levels, so why wouldn’t we do the same for our pets? The problem is, most pet care still operates on one-size-fits-all solutions. Traditional approaches rely on broad guidelines, generic food formulas, and reactive vet visits rather than personalized, proactive care.

That’s where AI-driven pet wellness is stepping in. PerkyPet, co-founded by Tim Maliyil, is using AI to bridge the gap between pet owners and real veterinary insights. Instead of just tracking activity levels, PerkyPet’s tech creates customized wellness plans, adapting to a pet’s unique breed, age, health history, and daily habits. It’s a shift from reactive care (“Is my pet sick?”) to preventative well-being (“What does my pet need to thrive?”).

As AI continues to reshape human healthcare, expect the same revolution in pet care, because guessing shouldn’t be part of the equation when it comes to your pet’s health.
