SXSW hosting series of free meet ups next week
Organisers of South by South West in Australia are hosting a series of free meet and greet panel sessions with conference veterans to share their thoughts on this year’s festival.
The announcement:
SXSW is hosting special free “Movie Meet ‘n’ Greet” networking nights in Adelaide, on August 3, and Brisbane, on August 4 with a panel of expert veterans in each city sharing secrets, tips and insider info as well as showing the 90 minute film “Outside Industry” on the raucous 30 year history of SXSW that was never released commercially because the producer never cleared the rich music within.

In March 2015, over 750 paid delegates attended from Australia, 47 bands played official night showcases and innumerable parties, four Australian films were featured in the juried show and various interactive projects were nominated for awards.
