• How do I enter details on behalf of my client?

• Do speakers need to meet certain criteria?

  SXSW London aims to achieve a diverse mix of ideas and backgrounds. Each speaker can participate in a maximum of two sessions. If your proposal is accepted, you may be asked to substitute some of your speakers.

• Can I propose a session that promotes a product or service?

  You can, however, sales pitches will very rarely be successful. We are of course interested in hearing about the latest innovations. If you are interested in showcasing your product or service, please contact here.

  The session organiser is considered the primary contact for the session. You are the person ultimately responsible for making the proposal come to fruition.

The Primary Contact can also be a speaker on the session.
