Join SXSW and the Austin Chamber of Commerce for the February edition of Innovate Austin: a special evening dedicated to the excitement surrounding the upcoming SXSW Film & TV Festival. This is an exclusive opportunity to hear directly from the programmers who shape one of the world's most significant, creative, and innovative film events.

The SXSW Film & TV Programming Team will walk attendees through the 2026 experience, highlighting the evolved festival footprint and exciting additions like the Film & TV Clubhouse. Expect an inside look at programming, a preview of the screening slate everyone’s buzzing about and a deep dive into the boundary-pushing XR Experience.

This evening is designed for connection - meet festival leadership, engage with fellow film and TV lovers, and network with the local partners who help bring this event to life.

Light bites & refreshments will be served.
