Announcing Faith-Based Sessions at SXSW 2018
New for 2018, we have developed two full days of programming dedicated to faith and spirituality based topics. Taking place March 12-13, the Faith-Based Sessions highlight the intersection and impact of faith in culture, technology, and entertainment. These sessions explore inclusivity, diversity, and innovation within the realm of religion and spirituality.
The SXSW Conference includes 24 programming tracks divided amongst Interactive, Film, Music, and Convergence, presented in a variety of session formats. The Faith-Based Sessions series is part of Convergence programming within the Social Impact Track. SXSW Convergence programming features a range of topics that straddle the cultural and technological intersection at the heart of SXSW, and is open to all badge types.
