South by Southwest is going way way south, in fact going all the way Down Under. The SXSW Conference and Festival will expand beyond Austin, Texas for a Sydney, Australia edition starting next fall.

SXSW Sydney will kick off over a full week between October 15-22, 2023, and the festival will explore the best in Music, Screen, Gaming, Technology and Innovation.

SXSW Sydney is a collaboration with TEG, The NSW Government & Destination NSW, and will be the official annual Asia Pacific installment of SXSW.

“We couldn’t be more excited and honored to work with TEG and the New South Wales Government via Destination NSW on an event that brings to Australia the professional opportunities and unexpected discoveries that make SXSW unique,” said Roland Swenson, CEO & Co-founder of SXSW.
