A Seat at the Table: Black Men in Tech
No stages. No hierarchy. A seat at the table. You in?
Take a seat at a roundtable alongside a curated group of professionals, who are navigating the same spaces you are, and want to hear what you've go to say.
There are enough rooms where someone speaks on stage while everyone else listens. You'll obtain better insight by openly pressure testing your situation in one direct conversation with ten individuals than you do from being a bystander in ten lectures.
Show up as yourself. Take a seat. Meet someone new, challenge an idea, share your challenges, and find solutions together. Leave with new perspectives, meaningful relationships, and at least one idea that can move from conversation into action.
Today's Table Guests: Black Men in Tech
We're bringing together black men across the tech industry - engineers, founders, product leaders, operators, execs, emerging professionals, and more - for an evening grounded by shared context and different perspectives.
We'll be hosting at The Barberhood - a space that has proven to be a pillar of community and authentic conversation.
How The Event Works
Each attendee gets a seat at the roundtable. A moderator keep the conversation moving, but ultimately, the room is yours.
Who Is at Today's Table
Take a seat, meet the people in the room, hear what they're working on, and find out what brought them to the table.
Topic Roulette
We go through the submitted topics with you and the rest of the table and let the conversation develop organically.
A Problem & An Action
The table chooses a problem (industry, business, or career) and works toward defining an actionable solution.
Open Table
Stay, connect, and continue the conversations that started around the table.
