International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) has been selected to be the first in Australia to host the South by Southwest (SXSW) Sydney 2023 technology and innovation, games, music, screen and culture events.
From 15-22 October 2023 the event will cover a number of different angles: the SXSW Sydney Conference, featuring over 200 presentations, panels, workshops and mentor sessions; the SXSW Sydney Tech & Innovation Expo showcasing innovative and emerging tech, entertainment and games companies from across the Asia-Pacific region, alongside the SXSW Sydney Pitch competition for startups and the SXSW Sydney Games Festival, which also features major Esports tournament, Intel® Extreme Masters.
On the artistic side, the SXSW Sydney 2023 Music Festival will spotlight local and international artists while the SXSW Sydney Screen Festival’s program of film, TV, digital, XR and social content premieres will showcase screen culture’s diversity in the Asia Pacific and beyond.
Destination NSW CEO Steve Cox said: “One of the Sydney CBD’s greatest strengths is its abundance of exceptional event venues such as ICC Sydney, University of Technology Sydney and Powerhouse which are conveniently located adjacent to active transport hubs, accommodation and dining precincts.” |
