PanelPicker is a session proposal platform that gives the SXSW community a significant voice in programming conference activities (presentations, panels, discussions, demonstrations, etc.) for the SXSW Conference and SXSW EDU. Prospective speakers submit their session ideas to PanelPicker, then the community, SXSW PanelPicker Evaluators / SXSW EDU Advisory Board and SXSW staff choose the best proposals.
PanelPicker proposals for SXSW and SXSW EDU 2027 can be entered from June 23 - July 26, 2026.
