Reinvention has always been one of Austin's strongest talents.
Both the conference that defined Austin tech, SXSW, and the center of gravity for entrepreneurship, Capital Factory, are evolving. Meanwhile, the rise of defense and hard tech startups is creating divisions (and tensions) between old Austin and new Austin. And AI is disrupting Austin's enterprise software roots--and everything else.
How is the city likely to evolve over the next few years?
TEDxSouthCongress is bringing together a group of Austin founders, investors, and civic leaders. Moderated by Hugh Forrest, longtime head of SXSW programming, the panel will map the forces pulling the city toward 2030 and beyond.
Hosted at the Red Fridge Society. Happy Hour from 5:00-5:40. Panel at 5:45.
