The Austin Forum on Technology & Society

About The Austin Forum on Technology & Society

The Austin Forum is a monthly community engagement activity bringing together technology leaders, advocates, and the public to learn about important technology topics every month. Technology leaders and experts share information via presentations, interviews, panels, lightning talks, and/or debates. The Austin Forum is both an outreach event to raise awareness, share information, and even increase advocacy, and an engagement activity designed to form connections, stimulate collaborations and contribute to technology applications that advance society. MISSION The Austin Forum engages and informs the Austin community about the importance and impact of technology on society and stimulates discussions, collaborations, and partnerships on new technology opportunities. COLLABORATIONS The Austin Forum is designed to bring people together with diverse professions and points-of-view in order to increase the collaboration and the cross-fertilization of perspectives, experiences, and ideas. Attendees are encouraged to ask questions and engage with presenters. Immediately following each presentation, everyone has the opportunity to share ideas and explore collaborations, while enjoying light refreshments and drinks.
