GETTING STARTED

 

Create Your Profile & Link Your Badge

After your SXSW EDU badge has been purchased, you will receive a registration confirmation email. Access your unique link code in your email or your Shopping Cart’s “Purchase History.” Sign into your SXSW ID account at id.sxsw.com and paste your link code. Detailed instructions can be found in our Registration FAQs.

After linking your credential, you can create your profile by adding a headshot, bio, and more in the “My Credentials” section of SXSW ID. Any information you add here to public fields will automatically be synced to the attendee directory in the SXSW EDU Schedule and SXSW EDU GO app where you can find other attendees — and they can find you too!

Build Your Schedule

Stay tuned for the SXSW EDU 2026 Schedule to launch this fall. Get ready to customize your own list of must-see events and continue to browse as programming is added leading up to March. Date, time, and venue details will automatically update when that information is available closer to the event.

SXSW EDU GO is the official mobile app for the annual SXSW EDU Conference & Festival. With SXSW EDU GO, you can build your schedule, sync your favorites, get event recommendations, network with other attendees, and more.
