Born in Austin and known for its legendary mash-up of tech, film, music, and big ideas, SXSW has officially landed in the UK. From June 2–7, 2025, London became the epicenter of creative and tech innovation — a historic first that brought the energy of SXSW across the Atlantic and spotlighted the UK’s rising influence on the global stage.
