“With just under three months to go, this is the first time we’ve been able to hint at the scope of the inaugural SXSW Sydney,” managing director Colin Daniels said in a statement. “Never before have this many entrepreneurs, artists, futurists, innovators and titans of every industry all been in Sydney at one time. As we pull together over 1,000 events and experiences, our team are still searching for a poster big enough to reveal it all.”
