The 19th is heading to Austin, Texas, for the annual South By Southwest conference this month, and there are multiple ways attendees (as well as locals without badges) can join us for a truly monumental week.
Here’s what to look forward to: Our team will host the very first live recording of our new podcast, The Amendment, with Editor-at-Large Errin Haines and guest Imara Jones. Haines will also moderate a panel featuring major changemakers like Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, Brooke Shields and Katie Couric.
We’ll finish the week off with a celebration of International Women’s Day, with partners including Fondation CHANEL, ByGeorge and New America’s Better Life Lab.
