A Storied Legacy Arrives in London

Building upon the immense success of its flagship event in Austin, Texas, and its recent expansion to Sydney, Australia, SXSW London promises a captivating experience unlike any other. This landmark edition is expected to attract over 20,000 attendees, fostering a dynamic environment where creative minds from diverse industries can connect, collaborate, and push the boundaries of possibility.

The festival’s economic impact is projected to be significant, generating over £75 million ($97 million) for the U.K. economy. Furthermore, SXSW London demonstrates a strong commitment to fostering the local talent pool. The festival has pledged to launch workforce development initiatives, partnering with independent and community-led venues throughout its Shoreditch campus. Organizers are also planning a comprehensive skills development program that extends beyond the festival dates, creating a lasting legacy for aspiring creatives in London.

A Stellar Team Assembles for SXSW London

SXSW London has also announced the appointment of several key personnel to ensure the festival’s smooth operation and success. Leading the marketing and communications charge is Clare Morris, who previously served as the marketing lead for the prestigious Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity. Anna Bogutskaya brings her expertise to the table as the head of screen, while Beth Greenacre joins the team as the visual arts advisor.

A Festival Designed for Connection and Accessibility

The inaugural SXSW London will boast a unique format compared to its Austin counterpart. Randel Bryan, SXSW London’s managing director, explains, “A shorter date format relative to SXSW in Austin will allow SXSW London to run its conference, music, screen and arts programmes at the same time, ensuring accessibility to multiple programming formats and diverse networking opportunities for attendees from different industries.”

This streamlined approach caters to busy schedules while maximizing opportunities for cross-pollination between creative disciplines.

A Celebration That Embraces the City

The festival’s location in Shoreditch is a strategic choice. This vibrant neighborhood, renowned for its creative energy and artistic spirit, provides the perfect backdrop for SXSW London’s vision. “Bringing SXSW to the streets of Shoreditch will allow us to create a festival like no other,” says Bryan. “One that unfolds across incredible indoor spaces whilst also showcasing creativity and artistic experiences in unique public spaces, allowing us to capture the energy and excitement of the summer.”

London Mayor Sadiq Khan echoes the sentiment, expressing his delight at welcoming SXSW to the city. “I am delighted to welcome SXSW to London for the first time ever,” he states, “confirming our place at the heart of Europe’s tech and creative sectors and as a global capital of culture.” Khan further highlights the potential for this event to empower London’s creative community: “When I was part of SXSW in Austin in 2018, I saw firsthand the electric atmosphere of innovation SXSW creates and I can’t wait to be part of it again. This is a historic opportunity for London to once again bring the world’s most exciting talent together as part of our mission to build a better and more prosperous London for everyone.”
