Sydney becomes the global centre point for creativity in the Asia Pacific when SXSW returns this October.

A captive audience of 300,000 attendees visiting more than 1000 events will descend on the International Convention Centre and surrounds from 14 to 20 October. Many of these visitors will be looking for somewhere great to dine, drink and relax in between innovation and creativity panel sessions, music and demonstrations.

Through the support of City of Sydney, SXSW badge holders will be provided with suggestions on where to eat and drink around Darling Harbour, Chippendale, the city centre, Barangaroo, Pyrmont, Ultimo and Haymarket during the festival period.

Hospitality businesses are encouraged to extend trading hours and provide deals for attendees. Successful listings will be promoted to attendees on the SXSW Sydney app.

Express your interest if your business is within or borders the event footprint.

Apply by Friday 6 September.
