WASHINGTON (KXAN) – Inspired by their visit to Austin’s South by Southwest festival this year, President and First Lady Obama will throw a miniature version of it on the White House lawn in October.

South by South Lawn, as it will be called, will bring together ‘creators, innovators and organizers’ working to make change for America and the world. During his visit in March, the president challenged creative thinkers to tackle the toughest challenges everyday people have to deal with. The one-day event will be a way for them to show off what they’ve come up with.

“It is a call to arms for every American to roll up their sleeves and make a positive mark on our country — and a celebration of the great work so many of us have already accomplished,” the White House said.

SXSW is helping to produce the event, which takes place on Monday, October 3.

As usual, the event will have three parts:

INTERACTIVE : Panel discussions throughout the day will explore topics like how to make change stick with organizers who are having an impact, as well as a discussion with influencers who are using their platforms to bring about positive change. Interactive booths will encourage attendees to engage with and learn about new technologies and innovations.
