Media That Matters is a conference for established and aspiring filmmakers, nonprofit communications leaders, funders, and students who want to learn and share cutting-edge practices to make their media matter.

What drives and sustains our own pursuit of sustainability? Personal values and commitment are important as we engage our families, friends and colleagues in the creation of sustainable organizations and communities.

This year marks the 6th anniversary of Rootscamp “Unconference” where organizers set the agenda, share lessons learned and drive the conversation about best practices in organizing.

Join three inspiring thought leaders in an evening dialogue about one of the great challenges—and opportunities—of our time: creating a sustainable future.

SXSW's original goal was to create an event that would act as a tool for creative people and the companies they work with to develop their careers, to bring together people from a wide area to meet and share ideas. That continues to be the goal today whether it is music, film or the internet. And Austin continues to be the perfect location.
