Senior Director, SXSW EDU Conference & Festival (Austin, Texas)

Julia Shatilo is Senior Director of the SXSW EDU Conference & Festival in Austin, Texas. Through collaboration and strategic visioning, Julia works to shape a dynamic, unique and powerful experience for the diverse community of education stakeholders that convenes at SXSW EDU every year. In her work, she leads the team across programming and operations to build an annual celebration of learning and discovery with thought leaders across the education landscape and beyond

"Ever since I was young, I was obsessed with the idea of being a Renaissance man, a jack of all trades or a cultivator of crafts. The mere thought of having to sacrifice many facets of culture that I loved so I could settle on one was not only something shocking to me, but it was a construct I actively fought against. When I first arrived in Florence, I felt an almost cathartic breath of reassurance — an inexplicable wholeness of what seemed like destiny or homecoming."
