Every great story has a final page, and it is with a heavy heart that we share that SXSW Sydney has reached its closing chapter and will not be returning in 2026.

It’s bittersweet to be saying goodbye while the momentum is so high. We’re still celebrating the success of this past year — one that saw total attendance of more than 345,000 (representing a 15% year-on-year increase), and cemented a three-year cumulative economic impact of $276 million.

Thank you to everyone who has supported SXSW Sydney over the last three years. Our attendees, speakers, exhibitors, partners, performing artists, developers, volunteers and more — you all came together to help us build a vibrant, global community that transformed the heart of our city every October.

We’re walking away knowing that something special happened here. We couldn’t have asked for a better community to share this journey with, or a better city to call home.
