Insights from the SXSW Sydney community play an important role in defining the conversations that are platformed at SXSW Sydney. Public voting takes place 17 March – April 11 2025. During this time, Session Select submissions will be made public so that the community can vote for what they would like to see at the SXSW Sydney 2025 Conference. Watch more here.

The SXSW Sydney Conference Producers will review every submission and evaluate the session content and nominated speakers against the merits of the conversation, topic and speakers submitted. Whilst also weighing it against all other session submissions and feedback from our advisors and evaluators.

SXSW Sydney engages Evaluators who give a lot of their time, industry and academic knowledge to help evaluate sessions submitted via Session Select. Their participation in this process contributes significantly to the event's session programming and ongoing quality.

SXSW Sydney has independent industry and academic advisors who support and evaluate Session Select. Their depth of sector and institutional knowledge allows us to fact check and verify content for relevance and truth. Advisors give ongoing feedback from the start of Session Select, up until our event in October.
