A$AP Rocky is a man of many talents, and now, he'll be putting his public speaking chops to the test. It has been reported that Flacko has been chosen as one of SXSW 2019's keynote and featured speakers, along with Democratic U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Several other prominent figures have been chosen for the Conference and Festival, including Endeavor's Chief Marketing Officer Bozoma Saint John, Olivia Wilde, and Instagram's co-founder Mike Krieger.
The scope of the panel is impressive to say the least, with a variety of different fields and backgrounds being represented. Of course, hip-hop fans, and those invested in the music business at large, will likely find much value in Flacko's wisdom. Chief Programming Officer Hugh Forrest opened up about the selection process, stating that "each of the Keynote speakers announced today reflect bold and innovative talent transforming their respective industries. The breadth and diversity of the Featured Speakers make the 2019 event an even stronger and more compelling place for creatives, innovators and storytellers alike."
Set to take place between March 8-17 in Austin, Texas, SXSW and the various panels should be a worthwhile haven for creatives and innovators of all walks of life.
