Hugh Forest Executive Director of SXSW
It’s always good to get the perspective of the person responsible for building a show like SXSW to get a sense for where the conference came from and where it’s headed in the future. At SXSW Interactive 2006, Chris talked with Hugh Forest, Executive Director of SXSW, about his thoughts on this year’s event. In addition to touching on some of the show highlights, Chris and Hugh also chat about Austin and what it’s like as both a place of business and a venue for one of the largest annual conference events in the country.
