Nothing pleases us more than hearing how at-
tendees have leveraged the SXSWedu platform
and community to elevate their career. From
the speaker who was invited to reprise his talk
for educational leaders in Europe, to the entre-
preneur who grew his startup's Board of Direc-
tors from a connection made at the event, to
the teacher who was inspired to refine her craft
through furthering her academic achievements,
we are proud to play a role in supporting your
development.
This year we are pleased to highlight EdTech-
Women, a leadership organization for women
and their supporters, as one of the many change
makers to come out of SXSWedu. Initially con-
vened at the 2013 event for a simple social and
networking event, EdTechWomen has quickly
grown to become a national community of more
than 2,000 members with 11 local chapters across
the country.
EdTechWomen's success in harnessing the
collective energy of the SXSWedu community
helped them create a valuable addition to the
education space. They serve as a powerful ex-
ample of what we consider "Change Makers"
and in honor of their accomplishment, we have
created a video series featuring their story.
We celebrate all attendees for their contribu-
tion to education and are excited to learn more
about how you have evolved as a result of your
participation at SXSWedu.
Please share how you are a change maker
by submitting your story to sxsw.tv/qtk.
