RSVP Now Open for 2024 Mentor Sessions & Roundtable Discussions

One of the most remarkable parts of SXSW EDU is the connections you make that extend beyond the event. SXSW EDU offers many unique networking opportunities throughout the four days, some of which you will want to save your spot in advance.

When it comes to Mentor Sessions and Roundtable Discussions, an RSVP is highly encouraged, as space for these programs is limited. Your favorite mentors might be highly sought-after, so RSVP early to ensure that you can participate with a mentor at a time that suits you to best help you achieve your goals.
