With no light at the end of the tunnel of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, South by Southwest is officially going digital in 2021.
Organizers of the iconic Austin, Texas music festival and media conference took to social media to share the news of the upcoming virtual fest and its 2021 dates. They also announced that they are working closely with the City of Austin and public health authorities for the return of the physical event, refraining from divulging potential dates.
The inaugural digital version of SXSW will take place March 16th to 20th, 2021 and is set to feature "conference keynotes and sessions, screenings, showcases networking, and more."
