Once again, SXSW is offering expanded access to events for all SXSW Badges. Attendees will receive primary entry to programming associated with their badge type and enjoy secondary access to most other SXSW events. The Platinum Badge remains your best bet with primary access to all of SXSW. All attendees also receive complimentary access to SXSW Gaming. Review the Badge Comparison Chart below for more information on access to events by badge type.

With one unified Conference spanning 20 Tracks of programming, there are more opportunities for networking, learning, and discovery than ever before. The Interactive Festival hosts a variety of compelling evening networking experiences that complement the many learning opportunities at the Conference.

During nine days of screenings, the Film Festival celebrates raw innovation and emerging talent from both behind and in front of the camera. Discover the next wave of musical talent at the Music Festival with performances from new, developing, and established artists. Beyond the Conference and Festivals, explore exhibitions, awards ceremonies, networking events, and so much more.
