SXSW Going All-Virtual in March, Working on Physical Event for 2021

COVID-19 forced next year's SXSW to go virtual March 16-20, but organizers are working with municipal and public health authorities in Austin to stage an in-person event sometime in 2021, they said Thursday. “This has been such a year of change and we, like the entire world, are reshaping our perspective on how we connect,” said CEO Roland Swenson. “Regardless of platform, we will continue to bring together the brightest minds from creative industries.” Austin pulled the plug on last March's show (see 2003060047).
