Key Session Highlights

Tech in the Era of Accountability: A passive stance towards content moderation allowed harmful content to proliferate online. We will be speaking with Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, to explore potential policy solutions.

The discussion will assess whether the tech industry is truly entering an age of accountability and examine the organization’s evolving mission for 2021 and beyond.

State of the Union: Historically, labor unions have had a limited presence in the tech landscape. However, this is changing as employees increasingly seek to organize at major companies like Alphabet and Kickstarter.

Parul Koul (Google), Grace Reckers (Office and Professional Employees International Union), and Clarissa Redwine (NYU) will analyze this growing movement.

Finding the Next Unicorn: Arlan Hamilton, founder and managing partner of Backstage Capital, has successfully raised over $12 million to invest in 150 companies led by underrepresented founders.

This session will delve into Hamilton’s investment vetting process and strategies for driving positive disruption.
