A second panel will examine how autonomous vehicles could change urban landscapes.

“The dynamism of South by Southwest lets us celebrate our iconic brand in an iconic cultural setting,” said Cameron Batten, Chief Communications Officer, Volkswagen Group of America. “From product and technology advancements to cultural milestones, we know the audience will be here in Austin, Texas.”

“We’re thrilled to have Volkswagen back as a sponsor for 2023,” said Jann Baskett, SXSW Co-President and Chief Brand Officer. “Their technology innovations and future-forward identity make them an ideal collaborator. We look forward to seeing this year’s programming and activations.”
