The International House Presents: Frequency
The International House Presents: FREQUENCY, Hosted by International Accelerator, Kicks Off SXSW 2026 on March 11th @ The Long Center
The International House Presents: FREQUENCY is the official global gateway into SXSW 2026—designed as a high-impact convening of founders, investors, governments, and global partners at the moment alignment matters most.
The International Accelerator's most ambitious concept yet, now at The Long Center for the Performing Arts, FREQUENCY blends the structure and credibility of a global summit with the energy and scale of SXSW, creating clarity and forward motion before the noise of the week begins.
Rather than a traditional conference, FREQUENCY operates as a system—intentionally guiding participants through ideas, decisions, and shared momentum across three integrated environments: BEAT, MOVEMENT, and RHYTHM.
The day begins with BEAT, where innovation establishes tempo through keynotes, panels, and international pitch programming. From there, MOVEMENT advances ideas into action through curated environments focused on conversations and alignment. As day transitions into evening, RHYTHM takes center stage featuring music and entertainment, honoring the tradition of SXSW.
