Event Details

Last year marked the beginning of a great annual event at South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi). (http://www.sxsw.com/node/4409).  Last year's event was a first BIT Meetup event and the attendance exceeded expectations.  

This Year's Blacks In Tech (BIT) Event

The 2010 Blacks In Tech Meetup we kick-off the first of three conversations in 2010.  We will discuss how Blacks, Asians and Latinos have impacted tech in the past and present.  Featured panelist include musician and new media pioneer Ryan Leslie (http://www.ryanleslie.com/ ), Kety Esquivel ( http://www.ketyesquivel.blogspot.com), CEO for Latinos in Social Media;  James Andrews (www.BeEverywhere.tv), founder of digital strategic consulting firm Everywhere, and Nichelle Stephens (http://keepingnickels.com/ ) , blogger and social media expert.  This year’s panel follows last year’s successful Blacks in Tech launch at SXSW that attracted over 100 participants and provided a forum to engage the black technology community in the festival itself.  With this event, the group is expanding its reach to include the Asian and Hispanic communities to provide a multicultural exchange.
