Hi there,
You may not know it, but we've started a new series of programming called SXSW Sessions Online. And we'd like to invite the SXSW Community at large to join us for this programming, which includes a live Q&A with our speakers.
We picked a good week to ask you to take part in this special content, because tomorrow we have Lawrence Wright discussing his eerily prescient novel The End of October with journalist Lila Shapiro and on Thursday, trend curator and SX favorite Rohit Bhargava will be on hand to discuss four non obvious megatrends you should know about. There's more, you ask? Why yes, we've got Rachael Ray on June 2.
If you can't make it to the live sessions, they're available the next day on demand on YouTube, so fret not, you never have to miss out.
Don’t forget to sign up for our reminders and we’ll provide you with an email and easy access link 30 minutes before each session.
We hope to see you tomorrow and beyond!
UPCOMING SESSIONS
MAY 19: LAWRENCE WRIGHT & LILA SHAPIRO ON THE END OF OCTOBER Lawrence Wright's new novel, The End of October, has been more prescient and relevant than the author could have imagined when he began writing it in 2017. Join Wright and New York magazine's Lila Shapiro as they discuss the rigorous research that went into The End of October, his creative process, and the heroes that are on the front lines of these pandemics tomorrow, Tuesday, May 19 at 11am CT.
MAY 21: FOUR NON-OBVIOUS MEGATRENDS THAT MATTER SINCE THE PANDEMIC (AND HOW TO USE THEM) WITH ROHIT BHARGAVA One of the biggest effects of the disruption we are facing today is the acceleration of ideas. Distance learning, ghost restaurants, esports, telemedicine, streaming entertainment, videoconferencing and more than a dozen other futuristic ideas are now becoming daily realities and going mainstream. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from bestselling author and trend curator Rohit Bhargava on Thursday, May 21 at 11am CT for a candid talk as he shares how anyone can become an observer of the non-obvious and why the people who build this skill will be the ones who emerge from this time of change better prepared for whatever comes next.
JUNE 2: RACHAEL RAY We’re thrilled that television host and philanthropist Rachael Ray will be with us on Tuesday, June 2. With a wildly successful career as a syndicated television star, an iconic Food Network television personality, bestselling cookbook author, and founder of the Yum-o! organization, Ray will bring her trademark warmth, energy and boundless curiosity to SXSW Sessions Online.
