SXSW is one of the biggest annual festivals celebrating multimedia, the arts and tech. Every year the festival draws in hundreds of thousands of people over the course of nine days. With so many different presenters, performers and attendees, SXSW is a grand showing of diversity and culture.

Today, Jon talks with the gatekeeper, Hugh Forrest.

Hugh is the Chief Programming Officer of the festival. Today he talks about his beginnings with SXSW over 30 years ago, the importance such a large and popular festival has on our society and so much more.
