South by Southwest (SXSW) Conference and Festivals 2025 registration is now open for the most sought-after event of the year in Austin, Texas, occurring March 7-15, 2025. Annually, SXSW takes over the city of Austin with featured sessions, music showcases, film screenings, tech exhibitions, pop-up events, and more.
After a successful Austin event last March, SXSW revealed they were expanding yet again with a London edition which is slated to take place in dozens of venues, galleries, clubs and other spaces in Shoreditch for a week in June 2025. The first expansion of the Austin-based festival and conference was SXSW Sydney, Australia which happened last October 2023.
This year SXSW 2025 will be even larger event throughout the growing city of Austin with new specific Conference tracks and events related to your badge type, plus Keynotes, exhibitions, Comedy Festival showcases, and select Conference sessions open to all badge holders.
With each 2025 SXSW Badge, Platinum, Interactive, Film & TV, or Music—you get primary access to specific events. Additionally, secondary access to other tracks and events outside your badge type lets you explore even more programming and connect with creatives across diverse industries. Registrants also enjoy a range of Austin hotels at the best available rates.
