Estevan Aviles, a native Austinite and life-long gamer, served as the Game Industry track lead for the South by Southwest (SXSW) Conference & Festivals. Responsible for curating industry-leading conversations and gaming content across the conference, Estevan leveraged his extensive experience in games alongside the explosive creativity of SXSW to create one of the most unique game festivals in the country. He also contributes extensively to the broader gaming community through several local and international initiatives which help to spread awareness and engagement for the game industry as a whole.
