Each year SXSW EDU convenes education thought leaders from around the world to connect on the new ideas, practices, research, and technology that are driving the discourse around teaching and learning. In many ways the growth of SXSW EDU over the last eight years is a direct reflection of the community’s optimism about the future of education and learning more broadly.
