Polkadot @ SXSW 2023, Austin, Texas on March 12th-15th 2023
SXSW Conference gets over 40K attendees and features a variety of tracks (15 tracks) that focus on the most important breakthroughs in technology, film, culture, and music. Of particular interest is the Tech Industry Track featuring the people, platforms, software, hardware and virtual systems that are driving the world’s next wave of change.
Topics featured include AI/ML, blockchain, cryptocurrency, security and privacy, XR, social media platforms, enterprise solutions, robots, IOT, etc. In addition to the tech track, the conference features several tracks dedicated to various industry verticals such as Energy, Game industry, Health & Med tech, Market & Economies, Startups, Transportation, Travel, Metaverse and XR, etc.
This event increased Polkadot brand visibility and connections to a Web2 audience of startups, enterprises/brands, thought leaders and influencers, media, and consumers. It is important to be top of mind for this audience as they are early in their Web3 journey. Polkadot will have a first mover advantage when they later make decisions on their transition – one step forward to mass adoption.

Did any of these well-capitalised and venture funded parachain teams contribute to the costs detailed?
@mrb Similar to the branding and booth presence for Coindesk Consensus some weeks later this has been a Polkadot project. The Polkadot brand has been promoted, the booth has been designed in Polkadot colors and only the costs of the sponsorship, booth, promotion are being requested, not Parity, W3F or parachain teams' time and effort in putting everything together.
