Future Perfect

The sixth annual SXSW Eco conference gathers together designers, thought leaders, and policymakers in the same space to exchange ideas with one common theme – to make the world a better place. In advance of the conference, which runs Oct. 10-12 at the Austin Convention Center, we're spotlighting a few of those innovators. For the full schedule, see www.sxsweco.com. Additionally, SXSW Eco is hosting a series of free and open to the public events at Brush Square Park, 409 E. Fifth., Oct. 9-12. See Community Listings for more info.
