The SXSW® Music and Media Conference aims to educate and inspire musicians and those who work with them. Whether you're a grizzled music biz vet, or a wide-eyed newbie, you'll find great discussions and unique opportunities to meet people who can help advance your ambitions. The 2013 dates for the Music Conference are March 13 - 16.

The SXSW PanelPicker is the source for a large portion of SXSW Music sessions. We will begin accepting proposals for the 2013 Music Conference on June 25, 2012. For a taste of what's offered at the conference, check out more highlights from past SXSW speakers at the Official SXSW YouTube Channel. Check out our keynote page and alumni page for a list of past speakers.

The SXSW Music and Media Conference offers an unmatched opportunity to talk about music and expand your community. Registration for SXSW 2013 will open in August. Sign up for the monthly SXSW newsletter for details on 2013 as they are announced.
