SXSW Sydney
Sarah Pagel · 21 February 2026
SXSW Sydney is an annual week-long event that gathers creative industries for a series of conferences, festivals, and exhibitions focused on tech, gaming, music, screen, and culture. As the first Southern Hemisphere expansion of the iconic Austin festival, it serves as a global hub for innovation and creative discovery in the Asia-Pacific region.
