Same Same But Different and Totem Announce Plans to Revolutionize Festival Attendee Experience
From the Floor of SXSW 2025, Totem and Same Same But Different Announce Partnership to Create Next-Gen Immersive Festival Experience AUSTIN, Texas, March 10, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Totem, the viral event tech startup, announced their official partnership with music, art, and wellness festival Same Same But Different (SSBD) today from the SXSW Expo in Austin, TX. The two innovators have plans to launch a never-before-seen immersive festival experience for attendees at SSBD 2025 in September, and are actively seeking a sponsorship partner to usher in a new era for festival connection, safety, and immersive crowd experiences. Inspired by the iconic festival totem, the Totem Compass is the screen-free wearable navigation device that has quickly become a global phenomenon. Combining GNSS technology with Unity Mesh Network, users can find their friends and effortlessly navigate dense crowds without depending on the notoriously unreliable cell service at these events. Same Same But Different aims to be the first festival to feature Totem's groundbreaking Immersive Festival Light Shows at full scale, following its successful debut at SXSW 2025. Thousands of Totem Compasses worn by attendees will allow for synchronized dynamic crowd animations and emergent lighting effects throughout the festival, previously only achievable in arenas with designated seating. "We are working to usher in a new era for live entertainment around the world," said Carter Fowler, CEO of Totem. "Through this exciting partnership with SSBD, we're not just making the festival safer—we want to transform it into a fully immersive, interactive experience where every attendee plays a role in the show. Together, we will create an unforgettable experience for attendees unlike anything seen before." Totem and SSBD are now searching for a visionary sponsor to help bring this experience to life. With the right partner, their goal is to equip every SSBD attendee with a Totem Compass for the weekend, creating a first-of-its-kind integrated tech experience for festival freedom, synchronized light shows, and integrated safety. "At SSBD, we're always looking for new ways to strengthen our community and push the boundaries of festival experiences," said Brad Sweet, Founder of SSBD. "Totem gives attendees a way to stay connected, without being glued to their phones. The interactive crowd light show capabilities of Totem are next-level—we can't wait to bring this to life at SSBD '25!" Through this partnership, Same Same But Different 2025 will provide an immersive attendee experience unlike anything seen at a festival before.
