In today’s business landscape, companies are facing the challenge of deciding where to allocate their time and resources most effectively in order to generate leads.

The preeminent emerging technology conference in the world, SXSW 2025 has again called upon its global creative community to identify innovative new ideas. Join veteran attendee Nigel Gwilliam to hear his lessons from Austin, Texas.
SXSW might be visiting London later in the year for the first time, but there’s nothing quite like the original taking place since 1987 and this is your chance to hear a round up of the key lessons fresh off the stage from Austin, Texas.
While there are thousands of participants in hundreds of sessions over the course of the ten days, key themes tend to emerge each year. After 2024’s obsession with (Generative) AI, the big question is whether this topic will again dominate.
AI is just one of 23 conference tracks at the next South By, although if 2024 is anything to go by, it will bleed into many of the others too. But what surprise topics may be in store? Gaming? Psychedelics? Climate & sustainability? 2050?
Join for your very own window into the highlights of SXSW 2025, and an opportunity to ask all of your South By questions.

Join for a relaxed 90 minutes of good food, good vibes and good company, all topped off with engaging insights on why newsrooms don’t work like they used to—social news desks are on the rise, and if your PR strategy hasn’t caught up, you’re missing out. Simon Read breaks down what’s changed, what journalists need from you now, and how to get your stories noticed.

BFI NETWORK South West want to champion the future stars of filmmaking, and recognise that making the leap from short film to long-form projects can be daunting and difficult to navigate, particularly for those based in regions where connection to the industry can be limited.
That’s why BFI NETWORK South West are pleased to launch Beyond Shorts, a career-development programme designed to elevate South West-based film producers and directors who have a strong track record in screen-based work and are ready to take the next step into making features or high-end TV.
To celebrate the programme and inspire applicants, we’re screening a selection of short films made by previous participants of the scheme (formerly known as Shorts2Features) in partnership with Encounters Film Festival. We’ll be screening:
The Golden West (24min, dir. Tom Berkeley)
1849. Having fled the Great Famine, two warring Irish sisters seek their fortunes in the gold rush. But with winter fast approaching and nothing to show for their efforts, their age-old feud soon threatens to become deadly.
Margin (12min, dir. Daniel Rands, prod. Chuckie McEwan)
In an after-school, last-chance, catch-up class, 16 year-old student Ria’s struggle to better herself clashes with her teacher Emily’s battle to get through an English lesson evoking racial tensions and societal issues that they soon find to be all too relevant.
Alo (9 min, dir. Xenia Glen)
Alo, an undocumented overseas Filipino worker, is struck by a latent seizure which jeopardises his status in the UK.
Outside Noise (8min, dir. Ethan Evans, co-written by Jess Bartlett)
An overwhelmed woman listens to a sleep ambience app to unwind before bed, but when the sounds eerily begin to blend with reality, she suspects it has conjured something frightening into her room.

Full price £8.50
