As SXSW gears up for its 30th edition next March, the Austin fest has revealed a handful of new Interactive speakers, including Kerry Washington, Larry King and Mashable founder Pete Cashmore, among others.

They join previously announced speakers such as NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, CNN host Anthony Bourdain, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx and more.

The announcement is only the first this week, as festival organizers are expected to add to the Film schedule and unveil the first wave of Music acts starting Tuesday.

SXSW Interactive is set for March 11-15 in Austin, with Film running March 11-19 and Music from March 15-20.
