The SXSW Conference (SXSW) is where diverse professionals in film, pop culture, music, and technology come together to inspire, learn, explore, and connect. Hosted in Austin, Texas from March 9th to 18th, this conference covers two-dozen discussion topics and features the official SXSW Eco curated Cities Summit! To top it off, there’s an amazing speaker lineup and over 10 session formats!
Featured speakers include Bozoma Saint John, Alex Chung, Kenya Barris, Katie Couric, and many more! Session formats range from book readings and demo listening sessions, to mentor sessions, pitch events, round tables, and workshops. SXSW definitely has something for everyone.
We may not have astronauts hanging out on the street this year, but there’s still plenty to look forward to!
