South by Southwest (SXSW)

South by Southwest (SXSW)

South by Southwest, often shortened to SXSW and casually known as South By, is a yearly gathering that features a mix of film, interactive media, and music festivals and conferences. This event takes place each March in Austin, Texas, USA. It started in 1987 and has been expanding in size and variety every year since. In 2017, the event spanned 10 days: the interactive segment lasted for five days, the music segment for seven days, and the film segment for nine days. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there were no in-person events in 2020 and 2021; instead, both years hosted smaller online versions of the festival.
