Expanded Access
No matter what badge type you have, you'll have access to
experience sessions from all 25 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 tracks and events of your
badge type, plus secondary access to other tracks and
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.
