Special thanks to our sponsors who make SXSW possible...
"SXSW is a great place to catch movies, directors and trends way out in the depths of the indie ocean, a long time before they reach the mainstream, if they ever do."
SXSW Interactive is excited to announce that Daniel Ek will participate in a keynote interview at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, March 16. The 26-year-old CEO and co-founder of the innovative online music service Spotify, Ek has been characterized as a serial entrepreneur. He started his first company in 1997 at the age of 14 and has also served in leadership roles at Stardoll and Advertigo.
Spotify's emergence in Europe proves that new media technology can provide new, and legal, solutions to the challenges currently faced by traditional content providers.
"SXSW combines two of the topics that I'm most passionate about, music & technology," comments Ek. "I'm pleased to be a part of next year's event and look forward to some great programming."
Keynote Speakers for Sunday, March 14 and Monday, March 15 will be announced shortly.
