2021 SXSW EDU PanelPicker® Community Voting Open November 10-20
Have your voice heard! During SXSW EDU PanelPicker® Community Voting from November 10-20, browse ideas and vote to help shape the 2021 program for SXSW EDU Online as well as SXSW Online.
All ideas received during the PanelPicker entry period will be eligible for your vote. Browse through proposals submitted accross a variety of session formats and tracks.
How to Vote
To participate in the voting process, November 10-20, visit panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote and sign in or create an account. Once you are signed in, filter proposals by conference (SXSW EDU or SXSW), format, track, title, description, tags, and speakers in the search field.
Each voter can vote once per proposal – selecting "arrow up" for yes or "arrow down" for no. Have a question for the organizer? The Comments section is a great place to post all of your questions and leave constructive comments about the proposals you vote on.
The PanelPicker Process
Community votes make up 30% of the final decision, plus input of the SXSW EDU Staff (30%) and Advisory Board (40%) helps ensure that lesser-known voices have as much of a chance of being selected to speak at SXSW EDU as individuals with large online followings. Together these percentages help determine the final programming lineup announced later in the season for the 2021 SXSW EDU Online digital experience.
Community Voting: 30%
Who knows what you want to see at SXSW EDU better than you? Your input is very important in terms of shaping the look and feel of the event.
SXSW EDU Advisory Board: 40%
A group of industry experts from around the world, the SXSW EDU Advisory Board provides significant feedback on all entries.
SXSW EDU Staff: 30%
With years of experience programming this event, SXSW EDU staffers work to fill any gaps in relevant subject matter, striking a balance between new and veteran speakers.
For more information about the Community Voting process, read the PanelPicker FAQ and visit the SXSW PanelPicker page.
Cast your votes in before the final deadline on November 20 at 11:59pm PT.
