The BIT conference is a celebration of the women and men who not only helped to build our incredible community, but are also doing amazing work in the technology industry that would normally go unrecognized. We are compelled as an organization, to provide a space and a platform for them, so their voices are elevated and heard. BITCON18, the Blacks In Technology Inaugural Conference, is here to deliver the ultimate tech conference experience. This 3 day event is celebrating black tech-xcellence.”

With expectations of over 1000 attendees, BITCON18 will provide an interactive and innovative platform to increase and recognize the representation of black women and men in emerging technology industries.
