The annual South by Southwest (SXSW) conference offers attendees a view of the future. It celebrates innovation and technology and provides a forum for creative thinkers to discuss what’s next and learn about the resources that can help them build the future.
Manufacturing USA has one proposal under consideration to present at SXSW 2026.
Part of the selection process for determining SXSW programming includes community voting. The Community Voting period is where the power of the Manufacturing USA network comes in! We need your help – and your vote – to get our institute representatives and members to Austin in 2026.
