CIA to give tips on creative problem solving at the SXSW

The CIA drives south from the Southwest Festival to give tips for looking for innovative solutions for complex challenges.

The outstanding espionage agency in America will keep a presentation on Sunday about the creative problem solving at the annual SXSW Music Festival and Tech Conference in Austin, Texas, the CIA announced this week.

The typical narrow liquid agency said that a CIA historian and one of the agency's public affairs would be able to talk to the title “Mission: The Spy Guide to Creative Problem Solution”.

The presentation on Sunday from the CIA takes place on the first weekend of the event, which brings thousands of artists, technology experts, business leaders and entrepreneurs together.

The agency said that their tips on creative problem solving were helpful for everyone, even if their special challenges do not contain, leading hidden surveillance, organizing secret meetings or sniffing double agents.

“Come and learn how creative problem solving has contributed to solving complex challenges with which we have confronted ourselves when protecting national security and how you can apply creative thinking to your seemingly impossible missions,” wrote the agency in a social media post that promotes the conversation.

The presentation of this month comes at a turbulent time for the nation's secret service community. The agency recently offered Buyout offers for employees as part of President Donald Trump and the efforts of billionaire Elon Musk to reduce the federal government.

Trump has long criticized America's intelligence agencies, and his CIA director John Ratcliffe has promised major changes and explained that the agency had imagined its original focus on human-collected intelligence.

Ratcliffe is a former US representative and unique director of the National Secret Service.
