Flags promoting Sydney SXSW

If you can’t make it to Austin for South by Southwest (SXSW) this year, we have the next best thing. 

Coinciding with Australia’s AI Month, the National AI Centre (NAIC) has made SXSW Sydney 2024 a major feature. 

Last year was the first time SXSW was held outside the United States, marking the start of a 10-year agreement to have an event in Sydney. 

SXSW Sydney is a week-long celebration of innovation brings together small and medium enterprises (SMEs), startups, tech innovators, thought leaders, industry decision makers, academia and government agencies.

Key experiences include:

  • connecting with Australia's AI Adopt Centres
  • learning more about Australia’s AI Industry, how to create AI music and images,  AI safety, your AI journey
  • listening to leading AI experts at conference sessions and at the discovery stage.
