Austin, what a week! 🌊 SXSW 2026 was a wrap and for us! It was all about the power of connection. We did not have an official trademission and therefor could dive into the creative talks and meeting international delegations and global leaders in the Texas heat. We’re bursting with pride for our founding partner @arnewink and @welcometowink They didn’t just build Clubhouses; they built the heart of the festival with the Innovation, Music, and Film & TV Clubhouses. 🚀 Huge thanks to @nbsotexas for the welcome drinks, @hypersolidco for the invite, and @sethgaffney & the @preacheraustin team for the best party in town: ‘Early Service’. 🥂🎸 Visiting the UK, Germany, Ireland, Czech Republic, and São Paulo houses gave us a serious reality check: the orange crew needs a home base. So, that’s the plan for @sxswlondon London! 🇬🇧 We’re bringing a Dutch House and a tour to the UK. Want to get involved? Give us a shout! Austin, thanks for the spark to the whole @sxsw team: thanks for the ride. See you on the next wave! 🤘🇳🇱 New Dutch Wave team at SXSW @linniehollie , @dannyfrietman and @suzanne.switch

🎬 The recap video of @SXSWLondon is here! We’re looking back on a truly successful creative trade mission and Tour that we organized during the very first European edition of @SXSW . 🇳🇱 With over 250 attendees, the Dutch delegation was the largest European group at the conference. Of those, 50 participants joined our curated Tour — co-organized with @DutchDigital Design. 🎥 Some highlights featured in the video: • Arrival by Eurostar & Welcome Dinner • Keynote by Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan • Danish x Dutch Meet-Up • Sessions at agencies @ustwo , @Protein , @DEPTagency and @madebyMonks • Europe’s Media Future – our own event with 150+ visitors • Event at @BIMA_HQ (British Interactive Media Association) • Summer in Session with @MassiveMusic & @Bandcamp • Networking at Belgium House • Bonus talks & tour: @GlobalStreetArt Here are some great quotes from participants: @JanneriekeH (@hogeschoolinholland ): “This first London edition of SXSW got an extra boost thanks to the additional program by New Dutch Wave. Not just in terms of networking opportunities, but also through inspiring and high-quality content sessions – top-notch!” @JohnMeulemans (@hibouamsterdam ): “The New Dutch Wave tour helps navigate the busy SXSW schedule and truly adds value — sometimes offering more depth than the official SXSW sessions themselves. On top of that, spending a week with such an inspiring group of people was incredibly valuable.” @schrammaarten (@creativenl_officieel ): “The New Dutch Wave Tour brought together a large, enthusiastic group from the creative industry during a well-curated program full of (international) networking opportunities.” 🙏 A big thanks to everyone who joined the Tour — and to all our partners, hosts, and speakers who made this adventure possible. Special thanks to Linda Holleman @linniehollie , Suzanne Visser @suusjv , and @BertHagendoorn for leading the charge. And of course our behind the scenes team: @dannyfrietman@ArneWink and Bass Beek. 📍We’re already getting ready for SXSW London 2026. Let’s go! #sxswlondon #sxsw #newdutchwave #dutchdigitaldesign

@NewDutchWave at @SXSWLondon – Day 3 & 4 Recap 🇬🇧✨ The third and fourth day were packed with creative insights, indepth conversations and international connections. Day 3 began with an energising breakfast session at @ProteinAgency , where we explored emerging cultural shifts and how brands can meaningfully respond to them. Based on deep strategic insights, the session offered a sharp look at where culture and brand strategy intersect. In the afternoon, marketing and finance leaders joined forces at ‘CMOs and CFOs Unite’ at @BIMA_HQ_ House, diving into growth strategies under budget pressure. Then a change of pace — a tour of the brutalist Barbican Centre, where architecture, art and community collide in concrete elegance. Evening highlights included networking drinks with fellow digital leaders at BIMA House and a Belgian-style closing party with DJs and great vibes at Belgium House. Day 4 started at @DEPTagency for a studio visit into their work with some of the world’s most impactful brands. There, we were treated to a special guest talk from @followMaurice , producer of @TheOccupantFilm , fresh from SXSW’s film programme. We wrapped the day with a revealing visit to Monks, where their team gave a raw and honest look at how AI and emerging tech are transforming client work, team culture and agency models. Last stop was a visual journey through the@ GlobalStreetArt HQ & Museum — an amazing finish to a standout day. #SXSWLondon #NewDutchWave #DutchDigitalDesign #ProteinAgency #BIMA #DEPT #Monks #CreativeLeadership #CulturalStrategy #DigitalInnovation #TheOccupant #StreetArt #BelgiumHouse #BarbicanCentre

@NewDutchWave at @ SXSWLondon – Day 2 Highlights 🚀 Day 2 was all about creative deep-dives and bold perspectives. Here’s what made it memorable: ☕️ We kicked off the day with an inspiring breakfast session at @ustwo — the award-winning digital product studio. We toured their Shoreditch studio and heard from their team about their innovative design approach. Then, @olafvangerwen_fooddirector (@ChuckStudios ) gave a powerful talk on the role of brand identity in the food industry — and how to translate that identity into compelling creative assets. Thanks ustwo! 🙏🏼 In the afternoon, we hosted our own flagship event for a crowd op 143 (!) attendees: ‘Europe’s Media Future: Creativity, AI & Public Values’ - in collaboration with @eit_cultcrea , @GemeenteAmsterdam , @romutrechtregion Region, CIIIC, CoCEI. With thought-provoking contributions from @storytellerfromthefuture Karen Palmer, @Identity2_0 , @VPRO Medialab, the event sparked important discussions about building public value in future media. 🎶 We wrapped up at the party of the week: MassiveMusic! #NewDutchWave #DutchDigitalDesign #ustwo #ChuckStudios #EITCulture #PublicMedia #AI #MassiveMusic #CreativeIndustry #InternationalDelegation #DesignLeadership #SXSWLondon

@NewDutchWave at @SXSWLondon – Day 1 Recap 🇬🇧✨ After a smooth train ride we arrived in London! We had a jam-packed Welcome Dinner for our sold-out Tour delegation of 50 people! On Monday our delegation jumped straight into the energy of Shoreditch and the first experiences of SXSW London. Our group visited the first inspiring talks at SXSW, including the Opening Keynote from the Mayor of London and the highlight talk of Deepak Chopra. We also visited OTHERWORLDS — a stunning XR installation curated by Amsterdam-based FIBER Festival & Foundation. A truly immersive audiovisual experience that blurs the lines between art, tech, and digital culture. After all that inspiration, it was time to incorporate networking with an international delegation. Our delegation joined the the Danish x Dutch Meet-Up at Mikkeller Bar. A relaxed and inspiring networking moment with the Danish delegation, we sparked conversations on creativity, culture, and future collaborations. 🍻 Great kickoff to what’s going to be a week full of discovery, inspiration, and international connection! #newdutchwave #dutchdigitaldesign #sxsw #sxswlondon #dutch #creative #trademission

Voor het eerst komt het toonaangevende 🔥 South by Southwest (@SXSW ) festival naar Europa – en wel in Londen! Van 2 t/m 7 juni vindt @SXSWLondon plaats in de creatieve wijk Shoreditch. En het mooiste? Je kunt er gewoon met de trein naartoe. 🚄 Onze sidekick @BertHagendoorn , al drie keer op SXSW Austin geweest: “Na 37 edities in Texas komt SXSW eindelijk naar het Europese vasteland. Er is in Europa ontzettend veel behoefte zo’n conferentie.” 🎤 → Inmiddels zijn er duizenden tickets verkocht aan meer dan 600 bedrijven uit 36 landen. → Het programma telt 420 sessies, waaronder keynotes, panels, workshops en roundtables. → Je kunt kiezen uit tickets voor de conferentie, muziekprogrammering of filmsectie. @NewDutchWave organiseert samen met stichting @DutchDigital Design een speciale Tour tijdens SXSW London. Verwacht een goed gevuld programma vol netwerkkansen, exclusieve behind-the-scenes bezoeken en toegang tot talks, optredens en showcases. 🎪 Nog een leuk weetje: het Nederlandse bureau @KesselsKramer (dat ook een vestiging in Londen heeft: @KesselsKramerLonde ) tekende voor het design van SXSW London. Denk: fluorescerende kleuren, een strak lettertype en een opvallende visuele stijl – wij zijn fan van de stijl! 🙌🏼 #talkshow #creativity #marketing #digital #business #podcast @adobe @youlynq.me @agencyengines @audiohuis #SXSW #Londen #SXSWLondon #DutchDigitalDesign #London #NewDutchWave #event #conference

A fully loaded immersive, interactive, interdisciplinary festival featuring talks, live music, inspiring round tables and lots of Dutch soul, organized by the covenant of @dutchdigitalagencies , @dutch_music_export , @bumastemra , @creativenl_officieel and New Dutch Wave! Our Dutch delegation at SXSW was blessed by a warm personal welcome by Austin mayor @kirkpwatson after which we kickstarted our broad program, including a cutting edge interview with misinformation specialist, author and activist Nina Jankowicz the interactive @smartphoneorchestra , curated network tables of the creme de la creme of the Dutch Digital Agencies, astounding demo’s from @breggz_official Hearables, an immersive live classical music 4-D audio experience by the @echocollectivemusic , performances by Lithuanian based surf-rock power girl trio @shishiband , and the Dutch blue-eyed indie folk sensation: @judyblankmusic , all held together by the soulful grooves of 45rpm of @the_singleladies . A BIG shout out to the @preacheraustin agency for welcoming us so hospitably into their home and headquarters, establishing a direct line and warm connection between the Dutch delegates and their new Amsterdam expansion. A HUGE shout out to @fennavanraaij for being a wonderful partner A textbook example of the fruitful cross-cultural-pollination that this mission is all about. Preach!

DAY 1 Hello Austin! the New Dutch Wave has just rolled in... On the eve of @sxsw , a wonderful diverse Dutch delegation gathered for a dinner with a view at the exotic Hula Hut. A soft landing. Their first get-together and their first taste of Tex-mex before spreading out and diving deep into the biggest, most diverse and innovative conference of makers, creatives, governments and entrepreneurs in the world. #sxsw #newdutchwave What a joy to see the group together for the first time, so many stories to tell, the first networking opportunity, the shared energy and excitement for what is to come. Tips and choices are shared to navigate the abundant program, senses working overtime, ready for anything! 📸 @benhoudijk
