Penske Media, the owner of South by Southwest (SXSW), recently made significant leadership changes within the organization.
Longtime president Hugh Forrest, along with approximately ten other key employees, unexpectedly departed from the festival.
According to Penske Media, Jenny Connelly now leads SXSW as the director in charge, following a restructuring.
Forrest's statement, however, implied that his departure was not voluntary, ending his 35-year tenure at the festival.
