Welcome!
Welcome to SXSW Eco 2013!
SXSW Eco connects the innovators working to solve the
complex challenges facing civil society, the economy and the
natural world. With three days comprised of 120+ sessions
and 350+ speakers from around the United States and other
countries, this third year of SXSW Eco also includes many
special events to network with your colleagues and to create
new collaborations which will shape the future.
In this third installation of SXSW Eco, we have added some
new exciting elements including: the SXSW Eco Exhibition,
the SXSW Eco Awards Show, the Place By Design
public space competition, Workshops, Mentor Sessions
and Continuing Education Credits. We are also proud to
be hosted this year by the LEED® Gold certified Austin
Convention Center.
We are eager for your feedback, so please take time to
respond to our survey which we will send to everyone
upon conclusion of the event ... or just grab one of our staff
members to speak personally.
Over these next days of SXSW Eco, we encourage you to
participate fully, learn greatly and enjoy yourself immensely.
We are so excited that you are here.
With sincere thanks for your participation,
Scott Wilcox
Director of SXSW Eco

SXSW & Sustainability
At SXSW, we constantly strive to
find solutions that minimize the
environmental impacts of our
operations and events. Each year
brings an enhanced list of actions
we take as responsible stewards
of our environment, and ways
we give back to the community.
Keep an eye out for members of
the SXSW Sustainability Team and
reach out with any questions or
ideas you may have.
