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.

Daniel Galle

Head of Global Sales at STABILO International GmbH

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, ...

Boredom? Not a chance. SXSW is a colourful, loud and electrifying mix of conference, music & film festival, networking and curious people - all with one goal: Connect, Inspire, Transform, Push Forward and Connect.

The Learning Journey fully met my expectations! They were extremely inspiring days in an outstanding group!

Learning Journey to Austin

The next Learning Journey to Austin will take place from 5 to 9 March.

Biggest digital festival in the world

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:

  • Artificial intelligence in its entire spectrum, from technical applications to social impact
  • Developments and cases in advertising & brand experience in the tech environment
  • Changes in the workplace and new work
  • Industry topics such as design trends, health & medtech, energy, food, fashion & beauty and culture

We reported on the Learning Journey 2024 on our blog.

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.

Klaus-Dieter Koch

Managing Partner and Founder of BrandTrust

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.

Top level speakers

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.

Pre-event programme

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.
