What is SXSW?
South by Southwest (SXSW) is an annual conglomeration of parallel film, interactive media, music, art, and conferences attended by 200,000 people each year. It launched in 1987 and has grown to be one of the largest festivals in the world.
What is SVC@SXSW
SVC at SXSW aims to be a beacon of hope by gathering world changers for meaningful conversations and platforming pioneering voices at the intersection of faith, the arts and the marketplace. It is one of the largest events at SXSW.
