Those who are passionate about the greater impact of technology and social movements will have no trouble finding a panel to attend at the 2019 SXSW conference. Below is a compilation of the top five panels for social and global impact, ranging from entrepreneurship in the modern political era to the damage caused by “Instatourism.”

Business and Social Justice in The Trump Era

Speakers such as Ben and Jerry’s founder Chris Miller and Postmates’ Vikrum Aiyer team up to discuss what it means to respond to sociopolitical backlash and criticism as a representative of a major brand. They’ll discuss experiences with being arrested at the U.S. Capitol and public rebukes of policies regarding the death penalty or immigration, and what it’s like to be on the front lines of issue arguments.

The Dark Side of Tech: Surveillance and Propaganda

Communication and surveillance technology is, undoubtedly, one of the greatest assets of modern socialization. It can be used to connect with others but can also be a means for oppressive regimes to maintain power and fear over their people. Alex Gladstein of the Human Rights Foundation, Megha Rajagopalan of Buzzfeed News, and others will gather to discuss how technology, such as apps and fake videos, is being used to manipulate and control state run propaganda in China and what the implications are for others in similar circumstances.

Don’t @ Venice: Instagram is Killing Bucket Lists

You might want to think twice before taking that perfect Instagram shot. Influxes of tourism to popular spots found on the pages of Instagram bloggers have resulted in vast amounts of damage and decay to destinations like Machu Picchu and Venice. Kathleen Ahamed-Broadhurst (EplerWood International) and Liz Carlson (Young Adventuress) are among the group of individuals that discuss the outcome of this “Instatourism” and what can be done to preserve what remains intact of these destinations.

The Global Voices of #MeToo

The #MeToo movement took social media by storm in 2017 when millions of women openly shared their stories of sexual harassment and assault. It’s the low-profile women living in even India and South Korea, however, who have yet to speak of their own tribulations. The #March4Women campaign, initiated by CARE, seeks to give these lesser-known women a voice by breaking down the barriers holding them back.

The Future Is Fluid: How Gender and Identity Have Changed

Over the past several years, there has been a rise in the number of youth who identify as gender fluid or “not straight.” Leyna Bloom, Robyn Exton (HER), Philip Picardi (Out Magazine), and Alok Vaid-Menon discuss the impact of this non-binary identification on general society and what this present occurrence could mean for the social future.
