Now an official 2026 SXSW event, the Asia x Austin Summit returns to the heart of the city.

Positioned at the peak of the SXSW conference schedule, the Asia x Austin Summit is the premier destination for international delegates, tech founders, and civic leaders to explore the "two-way highway" of opportunity between Asia and the Greater Austin region. This is a meeting of minds where global trade offices, cutting-edge AI startups, and regional economic powerhouses converge to build the next generation of bilateral business ecosystems.

Join us at the iconic Long Center for the Performing Arts for a full day of high-stakes insights, venture-focused pitches, and cross-border networking, all capped off by an immersive film- and pop culture-themed afterparty overlooking the Austin skyline.
