SXSW Taco Tuesday Talk: Civics at Work

  • 501 West Avenue Austin, TX, 78701 United States (map)

If there’s one thing worth waking up early for at SXSW, it’s our Taco Tuesday talk on corporate civic responsibility. Join IGC Institute and Civic Alliance for a morning of bold coffee and even bolder conversation about the role of business in today’s fast-evolving political and social environment.


Private Panel & Roundtable Discussion

Steady On, Scale Back, or Step Up

How Are Workplaces Responding to Today’s Super-Charged Political and Social Landscape?

As political and social divides intensify, workplaces face growing pressure to define their role in public discourse. Some are doubling down on their corporate values, while others are scaling back, citing legal, financial, and reputational risks. Our private panel and roundtable discussion will provide insights into how business leaders can navigate these complex dynamics while maintaining trust, mitigating risk, and creating long-term resilience.

Join us for a candid, nonpartisan conversation on the evolving expectations for leaders in a polarized era.

We will tackle pressing questions, including:

  • What strategies are working (or not working) for companies quickly responding to policy shifts?

  • How can organizations maintain neutrality while still upholding their values and commitments?

  • What practical approaches can leaders use to foster civil discourse in the workplace?

  • How are you effectively communicating with employees amid daily headlines about job loss?

  • Can you empower employees to volunteer, vote and be good community members without politicizing the workplace?
