President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will participate in keynote conversations at the SXSW conference in Austin on March 11 and 16, organizers announced Wednesday.
The President will be interviewed on March 11 by Texas Tribune editor-in-chief and CEO Evan Smith about civic engagement in the 21st century, according to the release. The conversation will be a part of SXSW Interactive.
Michelle Obama will talk about her Let Girls Learn effort on March 16 at the SXSW Music Conference. The release said her participation was “perfect” for the platform because March is Women’s History Month.
