Rainbow PUSH and the PUSHTECH initiative has been the catalyst to challenge Silicon Valley, it has lead the campaign to change the face of technology.

The organization has researched the virtual exclusion of African Americans and people of color in the boardrooms and in the C-suites and helped open more seats at the table. Rainbow PUSH and PUSHTECH are making the case that inclusion leads to growth; and when there is growth everybody wins!

This years' summit will feature an exciting array of technology advances, resources, tools and advances that have navigate what has been happening in the world the past three years, while at the same time set the stage for a post-pandemic future.
