The Take Action x SXSW: Music & Social Impact Summit brought together a vibrant community of artists, managers, executives, and change-makers for a powerful day of conversation, connection, and collaboration. In partnership with Bandsintown and Music Managers Forum-US, Artists for Action and Sandy Hook Promise curated a dynamic, interactive experience focused on the role of music in driving meaningful social change.
The day featured a full slate of panels—from brand strategy and live fan engagement to mental health and music rights—plus complimentary brunch, a community happy hour, and opportunities to engage with leading organizations including SoundExchange, HeadCount, MusiCares, The MLC, TuneCore, beatBread, SONA, and #iVoted.
The night concluded with a packed official SXSW showcase presented by Artists for Action and Sandy Hook Promise, featuring performances from Ginuwine, Aly & AJ, and more.
Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the summit a space for action, insight, and impact.
