Edward Snowden is accused of divulging details of top-secret surveillance conducted by the National Security Agency.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Austin, Texas (CNN) -- Even though he can't set foot in the United States for fear of arrest, fugitive National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden has joined the speakers' roster at this year's South by Southwest Interactive Festival.

Snowden, who fled the United States in June with thousands of top-secret documents, will appear via teleconference Monday from Russia for a discussion about how the tech community must defend itself against mass surveillance.

Snowden will chat with Christopher Soghoian, principal technologist with the American Civil Liberties Union's Speech, Privacy and Technology Project.

"The conversation will be focused on the impact of the NSA's spying efforts on the technology community and the ways in which technology can help to protect us from mass surveillance," an SXSW news release says.

Audience members will be allowed to ask questions, and The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit media organization, intends to livestream the session.

Josh Baer, a tech entrepreneur who has been attending the festival for more than 15 years, said he is excited to hear what Snowden has to say.

NSA leaker Edward Snowden will be on hand for an interview at South by Southwest Monday, but federal agents won't have anyone to arrest for espionage.

South by Southwest announced today that Snowden -- who is living in exile in Russia after his famous leak of countless documents detailing NSA surveillance -- will speak during the "Interactive" portion of the annual Austin, Texas, festival Monday at 11 a.m. Central by satellite. He will be in conversation with Christopher Soghoian, the American Civil Liberties Union's principal technologist.

Holders of SXSW Interactive, Gold, or Platinum badges will be able to attend the session on site. But those that can't be there in person will be able to watch a livestream hosted by the Texas Tribune. As well, the ACLU will host a recording of the interview on its Web site beginning Monday afternoon, SXSW said.

Texas Tribune CEO Evan Smith told CNET that he is "confident" that his site will be able to handle the livestream traffic. He said that was the first question SXSW asked, and "the first question we asked ourselves" about hosting the livestream, which is expected to be "the most traffic we've ever had."

Snowden will not be the only wanted man speaking remotely at SXSW. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange will also be appearing by teleconference on Saturday afternoon. And to round out a wide variety of panels and talks related to surveillance, the NSA, and privacy, SXSW will also be hosting an in-person discussion with journalist Glenn Greenwald on Saturday.
