It Happened Here First

An iconic cultural movement, South by Southwest has propelled future stars and tech titans to fame, in a roll call of legendary firsts. It’s where Billie Eilish first performed, Erykah Badu and John Mayer kickstarted their musical journeys, and Stormzy began his US tour. Twitter (now X) and Airbnb skyrocketed after the platforms launched at the festival and a rallying keynote from Barack Obama inspired crowds. In film, Bridesmaids debuted and visionary directors, Greta Gerwig and Barry Jenkins made their mark. Be part of SXSW London, and make history.

We are now open for submissions!

We will begin accepting submissions on 28 October for session proposals across the Conference, Music, and Screen festivals. Artists, performers, thought leaders, community representatives and industry professionals are encouraged to submit their bold and unexpected ideas for the inaugural 2025 Conference.
