See You at SXSW 2026
We’re excited to share a reimagined SXSW experience for our 40th event from March 12–18, 2026 in Austin, TX.
For 2026, we’re lowering badge prices (from 2025 rates) to help ensure that SXSW is for everyone. Access will also be streamlined to improve the experience. Interactive, Film & TV, and Music registrants will have entry to all programming specific to their badge type, plus Keynotes, Expos, and Sales Lounges and Activations.
While we’re sunsetting secondary access for Interactive, Film & TV, and Music Badges, the lower Platinum Badge price means entry into all that SX has to offer is more affordable than ever.
The Austin Convention Center is undergoing a complete redesign until 2029, and we’re taking this opportunity to reinvent spaces for our community by creating industry-specific hubs to enable new ways to connect and bring the SXSW community together, all while delivering the stellar programming we’re known for.
The three main SXSW events – Conference, Film & TV Festival, and Music Festival – will run concurrently across seven amazing days and nights. This means one more night of discovery at the Music Festival. Get ready to enjoy all of the exceptional SXSW programming you’ve come to expect.
