Expanded Access
No matter what badge type you have, you'll have access to
experience sessions from all 24 conference tracks, as well
as film festival screenings, music showcases, and special
industry parties and events.
HOW ACCESS WORKS
There are four badge types:
Interactive, Film, Music, and Platinum.
Badges are tied to three access types:
• Primary - admitted first
• Secondary - admitted second, after primary line
• Convergence - one line where all badges have equal access
If you have a Platinum Badge, you always have primary
access to all events.
If you have an Interactive, Film, or Music Badge, you have
primary access to the respective events of your badge
type, plus secondary access to events outside your badge
type, giving you the chance to experience more of what
SXSW has to offer.
A select number of events remain primary access only.
