October 19–22, 2020 Online conference Register now

FEATURED SESSION: Addressing Race & Technology Technology has developed in the context of societies that are racist and biased. How do we overcome discriminatory design when it is hard-coded into the very infrastructure that shapes future technology innovations? Can we imagine, design, and deploy technology that confronts racism and empowers communities that are typically negatively affected by technology? And if so, how? In this session, you'll hear from Charlton Mcllwain, author of the new book, "Black Software: The Internet & Racial Justice, From the Afronet to Black Lives Matter."  Charlton Mcllwain Vice Provost for Faculty Engagement and Development, New York University

Join us virtually at our flagship event, EmTech MIT, as we explore how racial inequality impacts technology. We’ll examine the checks and balances that are–or should be–in place to ensure an equitable distribution of technologies benefits for all.
