As we already told you, getting into FREE SXSW events isn’t as easy as it used to be. Gone are the days of walking past an event with a short line and popping in. Now you have to RSVP to everything.

In this installment of FREE SXSW 2020 events, we’re bringing you the best female empowerment events. Over the past few years, female empowerment has become a very important part of SXSW. Participating companies, as well as the festival itself, do a great job of bringing female focused topics to light as well as inviting powerful women to participate as keynote speakers.
