This session is part of 2025 Crossover Day. Attendance is open to all SXSW EDU registrants as well as all SXSW registrants. As always, SXSW strongly believes in the power of mixing creative communities.

Sure, your students ace their classes, but has anyone taught them how to ask for a raise? Or explained that "optional" happy hour isn't really optional? Join HBR's Women at Work, for a live taping exploring the unwritten rules that make or break careers. With special guests, we'll unpack the essential skills often missing in formal education, from mastering office politics to strategic self-advocacy. Whether you're a professor, administrator, or career counselor, you'll walk away with practical insights to help students crack the code of work culture before they graduate.
