The Black Tech Collective quarterly Tech Talk Salon Series (TTSS) delves into the intersection of technology and the Black experience, offering a fresh perspective on innovation through the lens of African American history, culture, and resilience. The TTSS is a premier executive forum designed to foster thought leadership, strategic networking, and industry impact within the tech ecosystem. Each quarter, TTSS convenes top executives, innovators, and decision-makers to exchange insights, shape industry trends, and drive actionable solutions that elevate underrepresented excellence in technology. These Tech Talks will serve as a catalyst for education, leadership development, and economic empowerment, ensuring underrepresented professionals remain at the forefront of innovation, investment, and influence in the tech sector.
