Leading digital outdoor media company QMS is proud to announce it is partnering with SXSW (South by Southwest) Sydney® 2023, the week-long “festival of festivals” that celebrates creativity and innovation.
QMS’ involvement with SXSW Sydney includes being named as presenting partner of the Media Industry Conference Track, the area with programming that covers the media landscape, the power of the companies who currently control the message, and the players bringing new ideas to the table. QMS will also present an activation within the SXSW Sydney Event Precinct, the details of which will be announced soon.
For the first time in the festival’s 37-year history, SXSW (South by Southwest) will be held outside of Austin, Texas.

QMS Chief Marketing Officer, Tennille Burt, said: “QMS is committed to championing and advancing creativity in the out of home industry – and the Australian media sector in general – which makes SXSW Sydney® the perfect partner choice.
“We’re proud to be a key part of the weeklong program, as the presenting partner of the Media Track.
Our involvement celebrates the advancement of the out of home industry and its creative dynamism. Backed by a significant investment in digital, the channel is truly pushing the boundaries of what DOOH can achieve for brands.
