Come see the future of work with Slack at SXSW

Some people love the summertime. Others look forward to the winter holidays. But here at Slack, our favorite time of year is SXSW, a festival where tech, film, music, education and culture converge.

Where else can we come together with creative people to share our mission of making work simpler, more pleasant and more productive? (While also scarfing down as many tacos as humanly possible.)

And in 2023, we’re going big—as in, taking-over-an-entire-block-in-Austin big. We’re calling it Slack HQ, and it’s going to be awesome.

Slack HQ
March 11-14, 9:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m.
3rd St. and Congress Ave. in Austin, Texas

What to expect at Slack HQ

An inside look at revolutionary technology: check. Tips for changing your work life: check. Snacks, photo opportunities and a place to kick back: check, check and check. It’s all happening at Slack HQ.

Step into Slack

Journey through an immersive installation to try out new tools and features, and to get a life-size look at channels, huddles, clips and app integrations. Oh, and if you’re looking to snap some post-worthy photos, you’re in the right place.

Slack Studio Live

Learn how the team at Slack uses Slack, hear inspiring stories from businesses small and large, and get insights and advice from industry experts. You can look forward to engaging discussions every morning and afternoon at the Slack Studio Live stage.
