Sydney Hamm

Sydney Hamm is an American actress, live show host, internationally represented print & runway model, and social justice advocate. She is best known for her leading role in the 2022 Lifetime movie, Swim Instructor Nightmare—and she is so excited to be returning to SXSW for the second year in a row as a Porsche panel co-host.
