South By Southwest Reveals Keynote Speakers For 2018 Conference
The South by Southwest (SXSW) Conference has announced some select keynotes and featured speakers for next year’s event, set for March 9-18, 2018.
Keynotes include Academy Award-winning writer and director Barry Jenkins (Moonlight, Medicine for Melancholy), psychotherapist and best-selling author Esther Perel, and technology entrepreneur and quantum computing expert whurley. Featured Speakers for 2018 include space entrepreneur and futurist Bob Richards, Empowering a Billion Women by 2020 chairman and CEO Ingrid Vanderveldt, artist and poet Cleo Wade, and author and founder of the Future Today Institute Amy Webb.
Registration for SXSW 2018 opens on August 1. SXSW Conference programming is organized into 24 Tracks divided between Interactive, Film, Music, and Convergence, presented in a variety of session formats. In a move to expand access to events for all registrants, attendees will receive primary access to programming associated with their badge type but now also enjoy secondary entry to most other SXSW events.
“SXSW has become a premier destination for innovation and creative discovery,”said Hugh Forrest, Chief Programming Officer. “We’re pleased to begin our 2018 season with strong programming that represents a diverse and talented group of pioneers in the technology, social sciences, healthcare, and entertainment industries. The depth and breadth of knowledge these speakers bring to the event is an excellent indicator that this is going to be one of our best years ever.”
