SXSW PanelPicker Accepting Applications until July 24

The SXSW PanelPicker is a two-step online process that gives our attendees a significant voice in Conference programming (presentations, panels, workshops, etc.) for SXSW and SXSW EDU.

Step 1: Entries: SXSW calls on the community to enter proposals for conference sessions at all SXSW events.
Step 2: Voting: The voting period allows the community to browse proposals, leave comments, and vote for sessions they think would be a good fit for the 2022 event.

During the open application process, we encourage everyone in the SXSW community to upload proposals for solo presentations, panels, book readings, workshops, and more. This application involves an easy-to-follow form that will walk you step by step through the entry process.

While voting from the community is important, these totals are not the only factor in deciding SXSW programming. As illustrated by the graph below, the SXSW staff and Advisory Boards also inform a significant percentage in determining the content lineup.

The input of the SXSW staff and Advisory Boards helps ensure that less well-known voices have as much of a chance of being selected to speak at SXSW as individuals with large online followings.
