SXSW Eco is proud to announce our 2016 inaugural keynote speaker, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., President of Waterkeeper Alliance, the fastest-growing global movement for swimmable, drinkable, fishable water. As a resolute defender of the environment, he will discuss the role that natural resources play in our work, health and identity as Americans, and why we must protect them.
Join us this October 10th-12th to explore why environmental policy equals good business policy, and discover how it is truly possible to become energy independent while making the world a better place. From solar energy to wind power, sustainable business and energy independence are keys to our economic revitalization. With his trademark passion and topical expertise, Kennedy will advocate for these rising industries while also mounting a direct and aggressive approach against entities whose policies accelerate pollution and maintain the status quo.
Kennedy is more than an advocate for the environment, he is an architect and agent of change, calling upon all people to actively make a difference. We invite you to join this critical conversation by attending SXSW Eco in Austin, Texas this fall.
Learn about our other speakers and submit your idea for the conference now through April 29, 2016.
