“I love SXSW Sydney and it's challenging to describe in words the magical experience. The diverse inspiration from tech, music, screen, and gaming is unparalleled and this event has brought Sydney back to life. The buzz around the ICC and SXSW precinct last year was incredible. The inspiration, learning, activations, Expo, and connecting with like-minded APAC creative community is a bonus.”
