"SXSW EDU returns March 13–16, 2027, with four packed days of speakers, workshops, competitions, performances, films, professional development, and networking in downtown Austin.
Bringing together one of the most dynamic communities in education, SXSW EDU convenes educators and administrators, nonprofits, business professionals, thought leaders, and students. New this year, SXSW EDU kicks off the first weekend of SXSW, with programming beginning Saturday, March 13, 2027.
Additionally, Crossover Day is expanding to two days. We will have dedicated SXSW EDU programming on each day and SXSW EDU attendees can now connect and experience the first two days of SXSW.
See you in Austin next March!"
