Thank You for an Incredible SXSW EDU Online 2021
Wow, it's been an incredible week with the SXSW EDU community.
First and foremost, thank you for joining us for the first-ever fully virtual convening. We truly appreciate your support of the continuation of SXSW EDU. Secondly, we are happy to share next year's event dates and we hope you will join us March 7-10, 2022.
We are more than a year into the pandemic – and education, families, and student learning are fundamental to the issues faced in communities across the country. This week's program met the moment by bringing together thought leaders to connect, empower, and inspire.
Our hope is that the experience sparked renewed energy as we continue our work and look towards the future.
