For two days, SXSW will be overrun by 2020 hopefuls and other prominent politicians at the ACL Theater. Partnered with the Texas Tribune, this late-addition to the schedule puts a huge focus on what America’s future holds.

All in all, six 2020 prospective Democratic nominees, and one announced Republican candidate, will be speaking on Saturday and Sunday, along with two other major Republican politicians. On the Democratic side, there will be two senators: Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar; two governors: Jay Inslee and John Hickenlooper; one mayor: Pete Buttigieg; and former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro. The Republicans are bringing two governors: John Kasich and Bill Weld; and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. Weld has formed an exploratory committee to enter a Republican primary against President Donald Trump.

That’s a total of eight current or former presidential candidates (Kasich ran unsuccessful campaigns in 2000 and 2016). There are also rumors swirling that Kasich might join Weld in challenging Trump in a 2020 primary fight within the Republican party.

First, the prospect of a primary challenge to a sitting U.S. president is exceptionally rare. The last time this happened was 1980, and even then, Ted Kennedy’s primary challenge to President Jimmy Carter was quickly squashed.

While politicians speaking at SXSW is certainly not surprising, and SXSW has partnered with The Texas Tribune in the past, this partnership to pack so many big names into two days is remarkable.

And these aren’t low-level politicians, either. McCarthy is the highest ranking Republican in the House of Representatives. Warren is currently sitting at fourth in a poll of potential Democratic nominees.

Evan Smith, CEO of the Texas Tribune, is the emcee for these two days, but he will not be conducting any interviews himself. He sees the role of the Texas Tribune aligned with that of SXSW.

“We want to put people in a room and be witness to important conversations about the future of our communities,” Smith said. “There’s an opportunity to expose … our great journalism to a new audience.”

Topics are expected to include the economy, privacy, security, regulations of technology companies, and more. With Facebook’s announcement on Wednesday that they will pivot to privacy concerns, there will assuredly be a slew of questions about privacy and social media.

Smith thinks no topics are off the table, and no topic will take precedence, but he expects common themes to emerge about corruption (real or imagined), immigration, and the role of the press.

“Whether the press is the enemy of the people or whether the press has the backs of all people in the execution of its duties,” Smith said.

SXSW hopes their audience of young, tech-savvy, early adopters of technology not only join in the conversation about solving the complex problems facing America, and also that they leave with the information and ambition needed to get involved and change the world for the better.

Conversations About America’s Future will be held on Saturday, March 9 from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. and Sunday, March 10 from 9:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the ACL Theater. A series of CNN Democratic Presidential Town Halls with Representative John Delaney, Representative Tulsi Gabbard, and Mayor Pete Buttigieg will follow at the ACL Theater from 6-9 p.m. on Sunday.
