Recent tech layoffs have impacted over 500,000 workers, impacting major urban cores and disrupting careers. Though AI remains hot, overall venture funding remains low while the unemployed compete for fewer roles. No longer is this the industry of loyalty, cushy roles, or high salaries.

Join Albert's List and GeoBrowser/Workforce DAO for a career transition conference where we ask whether it is time to quit tech. This event will feature three distinguished panels that will share hot careers, strategies to transition, and whether the trades are worth looking into. Non-tech organizations can also purchase a table to share their resources and pursue technology talent.

Join us to network, learn, and start your transition into a new career ahead of 2025. We'll also be having snacks 😋 , tea 🫖, and coffee☕️.

Here are our panelists so far. More will be added in the coming days:
