  • Austin-San Marcos, TX (1888PressRelease) March 19, 2015 - As music fans from all over the globe convene in Austin for the world's leading music industry event, South by Southwest (SXSW) Music and Media Conference, Coppertank Events Center brings YouTube's Music Experience to visitors in a specially-designed, LED neon-accented space.

LED neon lights will guide the way into Coppertank with the iconic signage on the roof top and building walls as well as throughout the space on bars, columns, video wall, stage, and a special dimensional wall customized for the event.
