The SXSW Conference & Festival is an annual multimedia event that brings thousands of thought leaders and visionaries from around the world to Austin, Texas, to discuss and celebrate what’s next in the world, especially at the intersection of tech, health, music, digital, social media and film. This year’s event will be held March 11-20.

As SXSW prepares to open March 11, leaders in the arts, technology and business are gathering for the first time in three years due to previous pandemic restrictions. Baker Botts is sponsoring discussions around technology and health care, bringing together their own partners and business leaders from across the country. Texas Lawyer spoke recently with Kate O’Laughlin, tech sector client development director at Baker Botts, about the firm’s goals for the conference.
