Featured Session: Multiplayer Futures: Co-Creating a Vision of SXSW 2030 (live!)
Summary
What if the future isn't predicted by one speaker, but imagined by thousands? In this radically inclusive and participatory session, you won't just hear a keynote – you'll co-create one. Sketch your vision of SXSW 2030, and watch your idea become part of a map of the room's collective imagination and intelligence. Then we’ll explore its signals, themes and provocations, and leave you with a clearer lens to navigate the rest of the week. All live. All together.
