The Sovereign AI House
Tech & Startup

Six days, four venues, two people, and content that had to post while it still mattered

Introduction

The brief

During SXSW week, webAI ran the Sovereign AI House at 515 Congress alongside a founder keynote at The Line, an official SXSW panel at the JW Marriott, sessions at the AITX venue, and a 200–300 person happy hour. Twelve-plus events across four venues over six days. The problem with SXSW content is that it expires. A recap that lands two weeks later is a document. A recap that lands while the week is still happening is a magnet — it pulls people into the next day’s sessions and reaches everyone who couldn’t get a badge. So we cut on site. Two of us covering the full week, turning films around fast enough that webAI could post while it still counted.
