Purchasing Your Registration

You can purchase your registration for SXSW EDU 2018 online in the Shopping Cart. Additional information on how to pay by Purchase Order is available here.

Registration fees can be paid with MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover. If payment will be made by purchase order, you can complete your online registration form and request an invoice.

In an effort to enable more educators to participate at the event, SXSW EDU has created a group registration program. Qualifying schools, institutions and education nonprofits are eligible to buy five (5) registrations and receive a sixth registration to SXSW EDU 2018 for free. The gratis registration must be used by someone within the same organization and all registrations must be purchased at the current registration rate based on the discount schedule outlined above.

Please contact us in order for our registration team to send more information on how to redeem for the group discount.

Convince your school, district or institution leader to approve/fund your trip. Download the SXSW EDU letter to help make your case.
