Beginning this week, the creative industries will converge in Austin for South by Southwest Music, Film, and Interactive. A celebration of innovation and creativity, SXSW is the perfect place for the Social Good community to meet, collaborate, and discover what’s next in the movement that is changing the world for the better.

For 2014, SXSW added new events that highlight social entrepreneurship and innovation for social good, including Innovators +SocialGood, the SXSW Social Good Hub, sponsored in part by the UN Foundation, and the Social Good Row, a retail marketplace of social impact companies that will occur during SXSW Music.
