Your relationship with this candidate: About Dewey Winburne Dewey Winburne <http://www.patrickcurry.com/dewey/> served as one of the original co-founders of the event that we now know as the SXSW Interactive Festival. A man of tremendous energy and vision, he imagined this event would come to highlight people who combined technological innovation with massive creativity. Years later, this vision has proven to be remarkably accurate, as SXSW Interactive has evolved as an international mecca for trend-setting creative thinkers. Teaching multimedia skills to teenagers, particularly teens of low-income and minority descent, was one of the great passions in Dewey's life. Many of the students who gained their initial new media training from him have gone on to achieve incredible careers in the local and national tech community.
