ADVERTISEMENTI'm fresh off an invigorating, inspiring day at the first ever South by South Lawn, which in words from the White House was "an event inspired by South by Southwest, [bringing] together creators, innovators, and organizers who work day in and day out to improve the lives of their fellow Americans and people around the world." From amazing performances from The Lumineers to an inspiring conversation between President Obama and Leonardo DiCaprio, it was truly a day to remember. Yes, the fact that it was 73 and sunny outside on the White House South Lawn didn't hurt either! With an engaged audience comprised of many who have committed their lives to these causes, South by South Lawn provided a platform for a range of interesting, multifaceted conversations. I can only hope that this is the first of many more South By South Lawns.
