Megan describes SXSW as a convergence of tech, film, music, startups, and government/defense, shares her work as a startup pitch coach (63 teams; she coached about 30), and highlights examples like MyFleetAI (truck fleet safety via sensors and AI) and Tube Bender (efficient conduit-bending for electricians).
