Why you are excited about SXSW London 2025 Im excited course i wont have a jetlag coming back to Berlin from London, i love walking around London in summer (its also not as hot as Austin) and im sure the excellent curation Team of the UK-premier did a fantastic job to present a very exciting and diverse program with lots to discover mixed with some inspiring appearances of celebrity-personalities. Since im readjusting / re-inventing my own role within the industry currently im excited to start networking and hope to meet interesting folkx from all over the world
