At 10:30 a.m., he’s scheduled for a SXSWedu My Brother’s Keeper Community Dialogue with Travis County Judge Sarah Echkardt, Dr. Gregory Vincent and E3’s Susan Dawson, among others (JW Marriott Salon D). The following hour Adler will join Mark Madrid of the Greater Hispanic Chamber of Commerce at Hotel Van Zandt for a talk on Igniting Latina/o Talent in Technology and Innovation, and at noon he will participate in the Real Estate Council of Austin’s Mayoral Town Hall at the Four Seasons.
