Applications to showcase at SXSW 2020 are opening real soon and to get applicants prepared for the journey, a run of Q&A events will be taking place in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane next month. 

The sessions, which are free to attend, will have four SXSW experts on the panel to share their experience and knowledge of attending the festival and conference and to answer questions that newcomers may have about attending and showcasing at the conference and festival. 

The meet and greet events will kick off in Melbourne on 15 July at The Gem in Collingwood, then head to the Beresford in Sydney on 16 July and Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane on 17 July. 


SXSW, which started in 1987, brings together the interactive, film, and music industries in a 10 day-long conference held in Austin, Texas. 

This year's event saw Aussie acts including Amyl & The Sniffers, Haiku Hands, Mojo Juju, Dean Lewis and more pick up rave reviews for their performances, while Melbourne's Angie McMahon picked up the prestigious Grulke Prize.

SXSW 2020 will take place from 13-22 March. Head here for more info.
