End your 2019 Industry Summit on a high note when you attend the Austin Block-Party-styled closing event. This event amplifies the fun Austin is famous for: live music, inspired cuisine served out of a food truck and outdoor settings. Relax and enjoy with the friends you made during the week and soak up Austin's zany and eclectic culture. The party doesn't stop there as you will receive free admission to an after party at one of Austin's live music venues on famed Sixth Street, only a half-block away from your PTDA Industry Summit wrap-up. With Austin's love of music and anything offbeat, there's no telling where the night will take you.
