SXSW London 2026
Tech, creativity, music and ideas in East London.
SXSW London brought the festival of technology, creativity, music and ideas to Shoreditch from 1 to 6 June 2026 — the European edition of the legendary Austin event, anchoring East London's tech-and-creative district for a week of talks, showcases, screenings and gigs.
Why it matters for London
SXSW London sits at the crossroads of the city's two defining ecosystems — technology and the creative industries — and draws global founders, investors and artists into the same rooms. For East London in particular, it is a statement of the area's standing as a creative-tech hub.
The London BGTC Society's view
We track SXSW London as a key annual meeting point of founders, creatives and capital — the kind of cross-disciplinary gathering where our members find collaborators and ideas that don't surface at a pure tech or pure arts event.
