South by Southwest Sydney (SXSW Sydney) has revealed 40 speakers for its October conference, the new event putting global thought leaders, creative pioneers and industry disruptors in the same room together.
From polar positions – and equally as pressing in the way they are shaping global trends – SXSW moves between topics such as sustainability to energy churning AI. It’s also looking at two approaches to storytelling in our times: Tim Cadogan (CEO of GoFundMe) will show how data from millions of campaigns resulted in $30 billion in fundraising to implement AI-informed technology that enhances sharing and storytelling, and overcomes the psychological barriers that prevent people from asking for help. Meanwhile Tiffany Rolfe (Global Chair/Global Chief Creative Officer at R/GA – New York) will show how to develop strategic creative solutions that blend storytelling with technology to drive business growth.
