The RSVP Feature is Now Live for Mentors and Pop-Up Dinners
SXSW EDU offers unique networking opportunities, programmed with the goal of encouraging meaningful connections during the event. When it comes to one-on-one mentoring and small-group pop-up dinners, an advance RSVP is required to provide the best experience for attendees as capacity is limited.
The RSVP feature is now live for mentors and pop-up dinners, so be sure to make your reservation by signing in to the schedule.
RSVP
RSVP is available to SXSW EDU registrants and is a feature in the SXSW EDU schedule and mobile app.
STEP 1: Activate your SXSW EDU account.
STEP 2: Sign in and link your badge.
STEP 3: RSVP for available events by choosing your preferred time slot. You should receive an email confirmation shortly after confirming your spot.
HELPFUL TIPS:
Need to cancel? Release your spot at any time by selecting "Cancel your reservation."
After you RSVP to attend an event, add it to your personalized schedule by clicking the star icon next to its schedule listing. This adds it to "My Favorites."
Please ensure that you only RSVP if you are absolutely planning to attend. Keep in mind that events are limited in capacity and out of respect for fellow attendees please cancel your reservation in the case that a scheduling conflict arises.
Waitlist
When available reservations have been booked, attendees can "Join the waitlist."
There are a limited number of waitlist spots, so chances of getting moved off the waitlist are fairly high. You will receive an email confirmation for an event in the instance that you are moved off of the waitlist. Simply cancel your reservation if you are unable to attend.
