About this Event
This SXSW Conference Speed Friending event is designed for attendees who want authentic, human connections—fast, fun, and low-pressure. Whether you’re in town for tech, music, film, or creative industries, this is your chance to meet like-minded people without the stress of traditional networking.
Through short, guided conversation rounds, you’ll connect with other SXSW attendees, creatives, founders, technologists, and curious minds looking for meaningful friendships. Whether you’re searching for a concert buddy, coffee companion, festival crew, or someone to explore Austin with, this event makes breaking the ice effortless.
After the speed-friending sessions, we’ll open the floor for relaxed mingling, so you can continue conversations with those you clicked with—all while enjoying drinks and good vibes at The Pub.
What to Expect:
- Curated speed-friending rounds with fun, thought-provoking prompts
- A welcoming, inclusive environment (solo attendees encouraged!)
- A diverse mix of SXSW participants from tech, music, film, media, and creative communities
- Time for open socializing after the rotation rounds
This isn’t just another conference event—it’s a chance to slow down, connect intentionally, and leave Austin with more than just panel notes or LinkedIn connections. You’ll walk away with new faces to recognize, plans to join, and friendships that can last far beyond SXSW week.
Spots are limited to keep the experience intimate and meaningful. Secure your ticket now and start your SXSW experience with connection, not just content.
