About this event
Overview
For the 6th year, we are joining forces with SXSW to produce OHUB.SXSW, March 16-20. OHUB, the leading diversity, equity & inclusion based technology, startup & venture ecosystem building platform & SXSW, the largest interactive technology, film & music festival in the world return for the 6th annual OHUB.SXSW during SXSW Online 2021, a digital experience from March 16–20, 2021 including keynotes, conference sessions, Music Festival showcases, Film Festival screenings, world-class networking, and the unexpected discoveries that are always a part of SXSW.
Since 2016, OHUB has sponsored over 1,000 Black, LatinX & Indigenous People of Color from 400 plus colleges & universities, including our nation’s Historically Black Colleges & Universities. 90% of the scholars have been placed at paid summer internships and full time roles.
1000 x 1000
To execute strong, we have launched the 1000 x 1000 campaign to connect our cohort of amazing students with 1,000 professionals, innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, ecosystem builders and beyond to donate any amount, join our private Slack, offer up officer hours and work to get these students hired.
With a historical 90% placement rate, and with median internship and starting salaries of $20,000 and $90,000 respectively, we can create $20,000,000 – $90,000,000 in real and measurable economic output for the culture and beyond if we work together to ensure that these 1,000 students are hired for paid internships and full time roles in tech.
Partner with OHUB today with your gift of any amount. Give $100+ and receive our official OHUB.SXSW21 t-shirt.
In 2021, OHUB will include 1,000 students in OHUB.SXSW. Sponsored students receive a SXSW online badge, the official OHUB x SXSW21 t-shirt, admission to our private Slack channel, inclusion in our resume book that will be delivered to 100+ tech, startup and venture funds; and a 12-month complimentary OHUB.Campus membership to OHUB.

Each day, we will kick off the day with a DJ going hard.

They will reiterate the importance of showing up at all of the #TechTheYard sessions and showing up on time for any office hours or interviews that are scheduled with them. They will encourage the cohort to post frequently across Twitter, IG, LinkedIn & Facebook across #OHUBSXSW21
On the first MM, we will invite our co-chairs to give some introductory remarks and we will host a panel of previous SXSW attendees to talk about how to navigate SX and get the most out of this year’s online experience.
