KCWiT TechTalks | Tech for Good: Harnessing Technology for Positive Impact
Join us for an engaging panel discussion with inspiring individuals who are using technology to make a positive impact on their communities. Our panelists will share their experiences, insights, and best practices for leveraging technology to drive social change.
The event will kick off with each panelist introducing themselves and sharing a little bit about their background in tech. They'll then dive into a range of topics, from the challenges they've faced in their efforts to use technology for social good, to the ethical considerations and potential pitfalls that organizations and individuals should be aware of when leveraging technology for positive impact.
The panelists will discuss how individuals and organizations can balance the pursuit of profit with their mission to do social good when using technology as a tool for positive impact. They'll share advice for individuals or startups looking to embark on a tech-for-good journey and explore how partnerships between the private sector, non-profits, and government organizations can be forged to maximize the impact of technology for social good.
In addition, the panelists will discuss how to ensure that the benefits of technology for social good reach marginalized or remote communities, both locally and globally. They'll explore how to ensure that the technology solutions developed or supported are inclusive and don't unintentionally exclude certain groups or communities.
Finally, the panelists will wrap up the discussion by sharing their favorite part of working in the tech industry. This event is perfect for anyone interested in making a difference in their community and for those looking to learn more about how technology can be used for social good. Come join us for an evening of inspiration and learning!
