Willie Nelson will be the keynote speaker at this year's South by Southwest (SXSW) Conference and Festival. The event is set to take place virtually from Tuesday, March 16th through Saturday, March 20th. In addition to Nelson's keynote, the event also revealed the first wave of featured speakers and plans for more than 230 conference sessions. 

“No individual has had the cultural impact on, or been more synonymous with the creative vibrancy of Austin than Willie Nelson, and we are incredibly honored to have him as a SXSW Online 2021 Keynote,” said SXSW Chief Programming Officer Hugh Forrest. “In addition to dozens of incredible featured speakers, today’s announcement also includes more than 200 sessions curated from our global community via PanelPicker, and is a key part of the premium content you can expect from SXSW Online 2021.” (Photo: Pamela Springsteen).
