It will actually now be both in-person and virtual. It kicks off in Austin next week, so before the big acts and crowds arrive, we’re taking a peek at what to expect on the ground in Texas or streaming into your home office. The Basics SXSW will run from Friday, March 11 through Sunday, March 20, and events are being held all over Austin. Venues are scattered throughout the city, including theaters, convention halls, stages, hotels, restaurants, and even churches for talks and panels, concerts, movie and TV premieres, and a comedy festival that comedian John Cleese will kick off. Featured speakers at conference events, which include “tracks” on transportation, healthcare, advertising, gaming, climate change, and more, will be available to stream online. Admission This year has big “hybrid” energy, meaning some events will be IRL in Austin, others will be streamed, and some will be available for both in person and online audiences. Registration rates go up by Sunday night (March 6), so if you want IRL or online-only access, now’s the time to sign up. Students (high school, college, and grad) can get a discount rate, but it’s a separate sign up process. Lineups SXSW is a chance for big and small artists alike to perform or even make a debut.

Credit: SXSW There’s also a daily selection of free events, like art installations, talks, and Disney+ screenings, all around the city. Each year the festival and conference relies on volunteer crews, but you have to put in at minimum 24 hours of work before you can get access to events. Out of town volunteers are welcome to apply, but you’ll have to find nearby housing and accommodations. Social media Even if you don’t get online access you can follow along on social media. SXSW just launched a TikTok channel, and there’s always Instagram. Of course Twitter will be brimming with #SXSW content. It’ll feel like you’re there.
