In the fast-paced and often isolating industry of tech, we understand the importance of connection, collaboration, and community amongst Black and Latinx tech workers at all levels. That's why we're committed to creating a space where students and the Code2040 community can come together and imagine a future of racial equity within the tech industry.
Welcome Weekend is a 3-day in-person opportunity for fellows to build community and understand the bigger WHY of the Fellows Program. On day 2, we invite you for an evening of connection, inspiration, and community building as we celebrate and showcase the impactful work of Code2040 and our larger community.
The event kicks off with a warm welcome where attendees can mingle over dinner while reflecting on a slideshow that highlights our 2024 Fellows. Our CEO, Mimi Fox Melton, will deliver a keynote speech, highlighting Code2040's efforts to address tech challenges. We will also have community members share their experiences and insights on diversity in the tech industry. Then, participants will engage in a thought-provoking activity called "Planting the Future," where they will reflect on their hopes for the tech industry in 2040 and commit to actions to achieve that future.
We look forward to having you join us!
