Help shape the SXSW Sydney you want to see this October
Sydney is once again hosting the Asia-Pacific edition of South by Southwest (SXSW) festival this October 14-20. The weeklong celebration of creativity and innovation will take place across the city and surrounds.
SXSW has always been about community and collaboration – and it’s in this spirit, you’re invited to be involved. Help shape the program into one you’d like to see by voting in Session Select, SXSW Sydney’s open platform for ideas.
A number of proposals have come from the university community so we encourage you to support peers and colleagues. You can do so by voting, and inviting others to vote as well.
