Techcrunch will be on the ground at the SXSW 2025-Annual Conference of Technology, Music, Comedy and Film that began Friday at Austin’s search for zeitgeist of this central era.
Yes, we are a sentence in and he has already made its entry. And why not? A rapid scan of SXSW’s mass schedule illustrates that he is in the central phase in Austin – and globally. It is worth noting that this year there seems to be emphasis on how it is being implemented in the real world, not just speculation about what it may be.
SXSW tends to reflect what the founder and supportive technology ecosystem is working on. And often coincides with the hype cycle. Autonomous vehicles, scooter mania, crypto, psychedelics – they all had their moment in SXSW.
The annual event technology part began on Friday and will last until March 13th. The conference begins with some squares that fall square in the Techcrunch interest zone, including the creator’s economy, culture, beginnings, health and media, and energy. The track and he officially begins on Sunday, but he is already making the income. For example, signal president Mredith Whittaker, who was interviewed on stage on Friday, called him agentic as a threat to safety and intimacy, and a health expert warned that it may be dangerous for people to be very dependent on him.
Deep technology like space and quantum calculation will also make its mark on the show, as well as climate, durability – look for the founder and CEO RJ Scaringe’s Keynote March 11 – and transport.
Autonomous vehicles are back, but this time they are on the road – not just the topic of conversation on a panel. At the beginning of this week, Uber and Waymo began a robotax service in Austin. The so -called Waymo On Uber service is available to any public member who has a Uber account. And you better believe that Techcrunch will be greeting those robots and will talk to the Uber man’s leaders about what they think.
Techcrunch will also talk to QV, founders and industry experts at SXSW to get the pulse how the technology world is adapting to the Trump administration and, of course, to find the other young young man new We will also pay a lot of attention and numerous interviews with technology and business illuminations, especially Alan Baratz of D-Wave Quantum, Qualcomm President and CEO Christano Amon, founder of Biossal Ban Lamm, and CEO of Arm Rene Haas.
Don’t worry, we’ll have fun too.
