Come attend the first event of 2024 for All Tech Is Human's popular monthly series in NYC where 200 people who deeply care about co-creating a better tech future come together to mingle, learn from each other, and hear a panel conversation.

Our all-star panel will feature Tracy Chou (founder & CEO of Block Party), Julia Angwin (award-winning journalist, bestselling author, founder of The Markup, and more to be announced soon. This gathering is a call to action to empower end users and make informed choices about one’s online presence. Consumer Reports will also have a demo space where attendees can explore and learn (hands-on) about data privacy! We will also be encouraging engagement in discussions about data action, privacy, ethics, and how to bring the conversation back to campuses, communities, etc.
This gathering will fill up quickly, as it is entirely free and includes food, drink, and ample time to get to know others in the Responsible Tech movement. All Tech Is Human draws a broad range of backgrounds, so you will be hanging out with privacy advocates, Trust & Safety professionals, civil society orgs, students, artists, designers, academics, and everyone in between. All are welcome!
