SXSW V2V was an annual technology and entrepreneurship conference that served as a spin-off from the iconic South by Southwest (SXSW) festival, running from 2013 to 2015. The event was held in Las Vegas, Nevada, marking the first time an SXSW-branded event took place outside of its traditional home in Austin, Texas. Created as an evolution of the startup competition from SXSW Interactive, SXSW V2V expanded its scope to include a vibrant blend of activities designed to support entrepreneurs and startups. The conference featured a dynamic mix of programming, including a high-profile startup competition that showcased emerging companies, interactive panel discussions led by industry experts, and mentoring workshops aimed at providing practical guidance to business founders. Beyond its professional agenda, SXSW V2V embraced the creative and cultural spirit of its parent festival, with a robust after-hours lineup that included live comedy performances, film screenings, and music showcases, offering attendees opportunities to network and unwind in an engaging, multidisciplinary environment. Although it only ran for three years, SXSW V2V left a lasting impression on participants, solidifying its reputation as a catalyst for innovation and collaboration within the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
