South by Southwest Sydney (SXSW) has announced the dates for next year’s conference, expo and festivals following its successful 2024 event.
SXSW Sydney 2025 will take place from October 13-19 in and round precincts such as Darling Harbour, Chippendale and Broadway. SXSW is an annual offering of film, interactive media, and music festivals and conferences.
This year saw SXSW Sydney deliver 1,400 conference sessions, 95 screenings, 315 performances, 150 games and brand activations to more than 92,000 attendees from 56 different countries. The event section of SXSW Sydney’s offering welcomed more than 300,000 visitors across more than 1,600 sessions over the week.
“We are delighted to announce the dates for SXSW Sydney 2025, in Partnership with the NSW Government,” said Geoff Jones, chair of SXSW Sydney.
“SXSW Sydney 2024 was a great success on all fronts and was bigger than its debut year in attendance numbers and sessions throughout the week.
“We look forward to paving the way for more innovators across the tech and innovation, music, screen, games and creative industries by providing these creators with an opportunity on a global stage.”
SXSW Sydney 2024 also introduced the launch of National AI Month and extended its free programming in Tumblong Park across seven days and 163 events, which were attended by over 190,000 people.
Submissions for the SXSW Sydney 2025 Conference, Music, Screen and Games Festival will open in early 2025.
SXSW Sydney is delivered in partnership with the NSW Government through its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW.
