Symposium IRL

Tech for Good Symposium is a professional network and community of individuals and organizations advancing technology-driven social change. We are on a mission to promote the use of technology and data to achieve social good. 

 

We host an annual in-person symposium to bring together professionals and organizations interested in discovering new technologies, sharing best practices, and building connections. Our goal is to create a space for tech and data for good enthusiasts to come together and discuss the challenges, opportunities, and potential of tech for good.
