How does SXSW Sydney choose sessions?

It’s important to note that whilst community votes play a huge role in shaping the SXSW Sydney 2023 conference line up, it isn’t the only factor.

Voting results, alongside advice from our independent industry advisory boards, will assist the SXSW Sydney team in determining our final content line up. This ensures that content is timely and relevant to its audiences. It also gives new and emerging voices a chance to be heard as well known individuals with a large following.

If your submission is successful and will be included in the SXSW Sydney 2023 conference line up, you will be contacted by the SXSW Sydney team by April 27th.
