What’s the best way to take advantage of being at SXSW? I want to meet some advertising people and activations, network, but also see some film and shows. I can’t afford a badge unfortunately.

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
