SXSW Online 2021 - Saturday, March 20

Hello, it’s day five of SXSW Online and dang, how is it almost over already?! 

One minute we’re gathering, checking things out, finding our way across this vast digital landscape and the next, poof!, it’s over, SX Chatbot goes back into its box, and we go back to planning, pondering, and plotting the course for next year’s event. We are optimistic that we’ll get to see you in person next March and honestly, we can’t wait. 

That being said, it’s been an amazing event and we hope you’ve enjoyed it. What a week of discovery! We really hope you didn’t miss 7 Sounds last night. If you’re reading this before 9:00am CT, you can catch it on the rebroadcast on Channel 3. It is truly wondrous and won’t be available on demand. 

There’s way more to come today, of course, including Norwegians performing in a cable car at the Northern Expo and a special encore of the Flipped Coin showcase. And today’s Keynote with Priya Parker will take a deeper look at how anyone can create collective meaning in modern life.

Please do check out the Information Station below as there are some general need-to-know housekeeping items that are important to check out as you navigate your way through the end of the event.

Now as we head out into the day we leave you with this. We’ll back in the morning with a handy list of what content is available on demand through April 18 so keep your eye peeled for that most material missive!
