【Love Nonetheless】

Anyone who's been to South by Southwest knows the experience isn't complete without a trip to the Mashable House,Love Nonetheless our onsite HQ. Since the festival is fully online this year, you unfortunately won't be able to attend the annual immersive experience in person.

But fear not: We're bringing it to you with the Mashable Home.

As SXSW enthusiasts will recall, the beloved Austin-based tech and music festival was canceled in 2020 as a result of the coronavirus. Thankfully, it's making a triumphant 2021 return with a stacked virtual lineup of keynote speakers, music festivals, film screenings, and more. The festival runs from March 16 - 20, but luckily you don't have to wait that long to enjoy Mashable Home, a 3D interactive digital experience packed with dozens of exciting activations.

Don't forget to say hi to your new furry friend, Ruby Tater Tot Spud, and be sure to click on more than 30 activations scattered throughout the house. You can click these icons to shop, watch videos, play games, read compelling editorial content, and more. You never know what you'll find.

If you've spent a good chunk of quarantine thirst-browsing Zillow listings or binge-watching home improvement reality shows, Mashable Home is a must visit. It's like being in an extravagant episode of Selling Sunset, with all the snooping around perks of a video game. And crucially, it allows you to explore home that isn't your own. (A luxury that's hard to come by these days.)

Grab some snacks, pour a drink, check your WiFi connection, and come hang. The virtual event runs here until April 8, and you can invite your friends to the house party by sharing the hashtag #mashablehome.
