We’re excited to share a reimagined SXSW experience for our 40th event. From March 6–31, 2025, lock in the lowest available rates for all badges and be first in line for hotel bookings, new info, and more.

For 2026, we’re lowering presale badge prices (from 2025 rates) to help ensure that SXSW is for everyone. We’ll also be streamlining access 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, the lower Platinum Badge price means entry into all that SX has to offer is more affordable than ever. And act fast, because quantities for the Platinum presale are limited!

With the Austin Convention Center undergoing a complete redesign until 2029, 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.

SXSW 2026 takes place March 12-18 in Austin, TX. We hope to see you then!
