 Running from March 8-16 2024 in Austin, Texas, SXSW is an annual convergence of festivals, exhibitions and conferences featuring industries on the cutting-edge of technology, design, social good, health and wellness, and more.

 An essential destination for global professionals, SXSW proves that the most unexpected discoveries happen when diverse topics and people come together.

 And to enhance our local innovators’ experience at SXSW 2024, the Invest and Trade WA team will be running a series of activations and events to help facilitate introductions and connections in Austin.

 Invest and Trade WA acts as Western Australia’s ‘front door’ for investors and exporters, facilitating investment into the State and assisting local industry to access new markets.

 With 13 locations across 5 regions, the team is set to open its first Americas hub in Austin in early 2024.
