McDonald’s Corp. had a big presence at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas, over the weekend. The company was a sponsor of the festival.

The chain is looking to improve the technology it uses in its restaurants, but it is also looking to boost its credibility with younger consumers.
