Herndon, VA - #volkswagen is celebrating its second year as a South by Southwest® (SXSW®) Conference and Festivals Super #sponsor by backing the conference’s #film & #tv Festival program in #austin, TX. Running concurrently with the SXSW Conference, the #film & #tv Festival takes place from March 10-19, celebrating innovation and emerging talent from behind and in front of the camera.

In addition to the support of numerous #film & #tv Festival related events, #volkswagen is presenting two panel discussions during the SXSW Conference. The first will center on brand partnerships and product placement in #film, with special focus on recent success with well-known #film franchises. A second panel will examine how autonomous vehicles could change urban landscapes.

“The dynamism of South by Southwest lets us celebrate our iconic brand in an iconic cultural setting,” said #cameronbatten, Chief Communications Officer, #volkswagen Group of America. “From product and technology advancements to cultural milestones, we know the audience will be here in #austin, Texas.”

“We’re thrilled to have #volkswagen back as a #sponsor for 2023,” said #jannbaskett, SXSW Co-President and Chief Brand Officer. “Their technology innovations and future-forward identity make them an ideal collaborator. We look forward to seeing this year’s programming and activations."
