Why Attend - Your Network Is Your Net Worth Now more than ever, we need spaces that open doors and move power. Consider this:

• 85% of jobs are filled through personal connections
• 70% of jobs are never publicly posted
• Less than 2% of VC tech funding goes to Black-led companies

These numbers tell a clear story: access, opportunity, and funding don’t always happen through traditional paths. That’s why gatherings like this matter.

Attend to:

• Connect with professionals in Tech and Sustainability who share your culture, values and lived experiences
