Melinda Gates and José Andrés are coming to The Deep End at SXSW

Two humanitarian heros on how their backgrounds inform their giving. [The Deep End by Vox Media at SXSW](/I0l01HS0A4pydz3u0P0FN00) Hi, Go deeper into global social issues with Vox Media, Melinda Gates and José Andrés. The two philanthropic pioneers will be joining us in [The Deep End](/I0l01HS0A4pydz3u0P0FN00) at SXSW for immersive conversations: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation thinks it can eradicate four infectious diseases by 2030 — and cut by half the number of children who die before turning 5. Vox editor at large Ezra Klein will dive into how and why co-chair Melinda Gates (and her husband Bill) chose to focus on health, and how she understands her role as a global citizen piloting the world’s largest charitable organization. Michelin-star chef José Andrés made a name for himself introducing the U.S. to Spanish tapas with an avant garde twist. But his humanitarian venture, World Central Kitchen, is the true innovator on the power food can have in post-disaster community building. Andrés’s organization has fed more than three million Puerto Ricans in the wake of Hurricane Maria — more than any other aid organization. Recode’s Kara Swisher will ask Andrés how his culinary background informs his philanthropic endeavors. Additional top editorial talent from Vox Media and partners include: - Vox’s Ezra Klein - Recode’s Kara Swisher - The Verge’s Nilay Patel and Dieter Bohn - The Ringer’s Bill Simmons Jump into The Deep End for three days of unfiltered storytelling, live podcasts, musical spotlights and immersive experiences, all designed to ignite your curiosity.
