Join us at SXSW in Austin from 13 – 16 March alongside a global community of creators, thinkers and makers shaping the future of industry.

We launched the Here East brand at SXSW 6 years ago after winning the bid to transform the London 2012 Olympic Press and Broadcast Centre.

Since then it’s been an incredible journey.

Head over to the British Music Embassy’s brand-new venue, Cedar Street Courtyard, where we’ll be speaking on two official SXSW panels:

Big, Small and Different: Innovation Ecosystems

16 March, 9:30AM -10:30AM

Discover what it takes to build a successful eco-system with collaboration at its heart. We'll discuss partnerships and programmes that have facilitated ground-breaking initiatives using technology to address real-world issues.

Panellists:

Andrew Roughan (Plexal), Ricardo van Loenen (B.Amsterdam), Sarah-Jayne Williams (Ford Smart Mobility). Moderated by Ebba Lund (IASP)
