SXSW 2025 Driven by Rivian

Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson join Featured Speaker lineup!

 

We’re so excited to announce the addition of a Featured Session with former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama and her brother Craig Robinson on Thursday, March 13 at 1pm CT. 

Michelle Obama has long been an inspiration to us at SXSW and to millions of people around the world. Her belief that we lift each other up by sharing our stories with one another is a core part of the SXSW experience.

Michelle’s passion for storytelling has set sales records, garnered awards and accolades, and earned her global acclaim. She will be joined onstage by her brother, Craig Robinson. Craig is the Executive Director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and host of the Higher Ground podcast Ways To Win.

It’s not too late to join us this week and next. Don’t miss out on all the discovery and inspiration that awaits!
