Elevator Pitch
Since March 2020, the world has changed, and the tech community has had to change along with it. Where do we go from here? How do we regain some of what we have lost, while looking forward to the future and adapting to our new reality? We move forward as one, together.
Description
Rebuilding Together takes a critical look at the realities facing the tech community in post-pandemic life. I explore what the future might look like, if we all work together towards a new normal, based on empathy, compassion, and community. Rather than giving vague platitudes concerning the work ahead of us, I issue concrete, actionable tasks to us all, such that every attendee leaves with an idea of how to rebuild, and help the tech community thrive again.
Notes
This talk is extremely emotional, and when last given as a keynote earned audience tears, as well as a standing ovation. A former student of psychology before entering the tech sphere, I am comfortable with being vulnerable, and helping an audience get in touch with their emotions. I require only a mic and the ability to present slides to give this talk.
