Franklin Square Takeover - Park at the 14th
Join Us for the Franklin Square Takeover — Where Community, Opportunity & Innovation Meet
As part of Techsgiving Summit Week, we’re transforming Franklin Square into a hub for connection, collaboration, and career opportunity. This takeover brings together Summit attendees, summit partners, tech leaders, and community organizations committed to expanding access across the industry.
Attendees will have the chance to network directly with teams from Google, Salesforce, Tenable, and other participating companies looking to connect with the community.
We’re also proud to spotlight our community organizations who are shaping the next generation of tech talent, including:
Africans in Tech
GRC Engineering Club
NSBE
STEM Soulcial
BPM Product Community
Latinas in Tech
Black Men in Tech
Cyber Culture
Each group will be onsite sharing pathways, resources, and opportunities for professionals at every stage of their journey.
In addition, Veterans in Tech will have a dedicated area to connect with Tenable about real hiring opportunities and career pathways in cybersecurity and engineering. While Salesforce will have recruiters onsite looking to recruit for talent.
And this year, we’re adding purpose to the party.
The Franklin Square Takeover doubles as a giveback initiative supporting KIPP students and for Teaching Heart's mission to deliver toys to DMV youth in need. Attendees can contribute by purchasing items from the curated school-supply and clothing wishlist, or by making a direct donation here for toys. Every contribution helps ensure KIPP scholars are equipped with the essentials they need to thrive.
Whether you're here to network, explore roles, collaborate, or give back—this experience is built to uplift community. Pull up, plug in, and be part of the movement powering access and opportunity across tech.
