Casey Gerald To Keynote SxSW Interactive

The first registration deadline for buying a badge for SXSW is tomorrow ($1,345 for the platinum version). If you're on the fence, perhaps the news that Casey Gerald will keynote the Interactive track will help you make a decision. Gerald had drug-addicted parents who weren't around by the time he'd made it to seventh grade. He played football at South Oak Cliff. So, of course, you can guess how his life unfolded: became valedictorian, went to Yale and then Harvard for his MBA, appeared on the cover of Fast Company, and is now making the world a better place. Read this Cheryl Hall column about him. Just another success story out of DISD.
