South by Southwest, the annual tech, film and music conference held in Austin, Texas, has been canceled due to concerns surrounding the coronavirus outbreak.
Therefore, IAPI is unable to host our annual SXSW event in Dublin where selected speakers come back and share their highlights and insights with us.
IAPI continues to closely monitor the official guidance from health authorities, local government, and the World Health Organisation (WHO) in order to support the health and well-being of our community.
We advise you to keep updated on the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) by visiting the WHO website.
Please see below for the statement released by SXSW.
The City of Austin has cancelled the March dates for SXSW and SXSW EDU. SXSW will faithfully follow the City’s directions.
"We are devastated to share this news with you. “The show must go on” is in our DNA, and this is the first time in 34 years that the March event will not take place. We are now working through the ramifications of this unprecedented situation.
As recently as Wednesday, Austin Public Health stated that “there’s no evidence that closing SXSW or any other gatherings will make the community safer.” However, this situation evolved rapidly, and we honor and respect the City of Austin’s decision. We are committed to do our part to help protect our staff, attendees, and fellow Austinites.
We are exploring options to reschedule the event and are working to provide a virtual SXSW online experience as soon as possible for 2020 participants, starting with SXSW EDU. For our registrants, clients, and participants we will be in touch as soon as possible and will publish an FAQ.
We understand the gravity of the situation for all the creatives who utilize SXSW to accelerate their careers; for the global businesses; and for Austin and the hundreds of small businesses – venues, theatres, vendors, production companies, service industry staff, and other partners that rely so heavily on the increased business that SXSW attracts.
We will continue to work hard to bring you the unique events you love. Though it’s true that our March 2020 event will no longer take place in the way that we intended, we continue to strive toward our purpose – helping creative people achieve their goals."
The South by Southwest (SXSW) Conference & Festival, March 13–22, 2020 Austin, TX, celebrates the convergence of the interactive, film, and music industries. Fostering creative and professional growth, SXSW is the premier destination for discovery.
