T-Squared: What Would You Ask Barack Obama?

I'll be interviewing POTUS this Friday at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival — and in addition to my questions, I'll ask some of yours. What's on your mind?

This Friday, I'll sit down with President Barack Obama at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival to talk about how the technology sector — the community of visionaries, innovators and disruptors revolutionizing our lives — can be harnessed on behalf of the public interest. The conversation will be driven mostly by my questions, but we've reserved a chunk of time for yours — things you'd ask if it were you instead of me sitting across from POTUS.

What's on your mind? As part of this once-in-a-lifetime gig, I'm pleased to have the opportunity to solicit suggestions from Tribune readers. If there's something you'd like me to consider — a specific query or a general topic we should explore — jot it in the form below. I promise to go through every submission personally and pluck out the best of the best.

Hope to see you on March 11. If you're a SXSW Interactive, Platinum or Gold badge holder, click here for more information on the ticketing process for the event. If not, the Tribune will be carrying SXSW's livestream of our one-on-one beginning Friday at 2:30 p.m. Tune in to see if your question gets asked.
