Join us for a panel discussion on February 23 from 12:00 - 1:00PM in the EnterpriseWorks atrium for the journey, successes and challenges for Black tech professionals, both in Champaign-Urbana and beyond. We welcome all to join us to hear the stories of our panelists, who come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, who will reflect on their experiences as part of an underrepresented group in the tech industry. Curated for Black History Month, this event aims to further dialogue and spark candid conversations.
