Austin’s SXSW conference and festival saw its largest number of attendees to date this year. To celebrate the boost to local businesses, the Austin-based geosocial platform Gowalla tapped JESS3 to visualize the impressive number of Gowalla check-ins at sxsw events, live music performances, restaurants and bars. This fun infographic also displays the huge number of check-ins at the pop-up Apple store that set shop downtown to sell the newly released iPad2 to SXSW attendees, as well as a US map of where festival attendees came from using data from check-ins at Austin’s airport.
