Guaranteed active ingredient booster through curated travel and group exchange instead of individual visits. SXSW/Austin is one of the best places in the world to be inspired, recharge your batteries and think in terms of solutions rather than problems.

For me, it was an absolutely worthwhile learning journey from a 360-degree perspective. Starting with the vibrant modern Austin with many highlights, a great group of participants, a varied pre-programme, short distances through the convention centre in the middle of the city, top international voices, with a good balance between tech and cultural topics, top brand presentations in the city, first-class support from Brand Trust, ...

The Learning Journey fully met my expectations! They were extremely inspiring days in an outstanding group!
The next Learning Journey to Austin will take place from 5 to 9 March.
The largest digital festival in the world takes place in Austin, Texas: South by Southwest (SXSW). Originating from a film and music festival in 1987, SXSW brings together the world's elite of entrepreneurs and creatives to network and learn about the latest developments in the following core topics:
South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin is a unique blend of creativity, innovation and technology that pushes boundaries and unites disciplines. Where else do the biggest thinkers in music, film, technology and business come together to discuss the future and experience trends live? For entrepreneurs, SXSW is an invaluable source of inspiration, a first-class networking hub and a place to test ground-breaking ideas and broaden your horizons. Be part of it!

A super inspiring time, I wouldn't want to miss it. Come along, it's really worth it: an adventure in your head and you go home with a completely different level of energy.

It's the whole Austin package: it's not just the talks, it's our pre-programme, the discussions we have, the wonderful people we meet. I'm glad I took this week out. It carries you through the rest of the year. It was absolutely worth it.
Highlights include appearances by top-level speakers such as members of the US government and Congress, entrepreneurs like Marc Zuckerberg, creatives like Walter Isaacson and Christopher Nolan and, of course, tech futurist Amy Webb from New York. But the more than 2,000 panels and presentations offer the right inspiration or solution for every aspect of current developments.
Even before the official events begin, we will have the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with CEOs, founders and influencers from the Austin entrepreneurial scene in a programme designed just for us.
To make sure you don't lose track and miss out on the best sessions, BrandTrust's experienced guidance provides a briefing on the day's highlights every morning and an in-depth reflection on the experience every evening. According to our participants, this dramatically increases the learning effect.
