Responsible Tech Summit: September 2021

TheBridge partnered with All Tech Is Human on The Responsible Tech Summit, an all day online event on Wednesday, September 15. Video from the summit, speakers and ways to get involved in the next summit are available below.

The Summit included:

  • an overview of the ecosystem and ways to get more involved

  • four panels (Data Privacy, Responsible AI, Improving Digital Spaces, and The Road Ahead for Responsible Tech)

  • five org presentations

  • and a significant amount of time for you to connect with the broad range of individuals committed to building a better tech future!

TheBridge has enjoyed partnering with All Tech Is Human for the past few years. Including on Responsible Tech Summits in New York City and San Francisco, leading a fireside chat with the FCC's Jessica Rosenworcel and other panel discussions.

We would love to hear your ideas of how we can build this and upcoming Responsible Tech Summits into impactful events that can unite multiple stakeholders, promote knowledge-sharing and collaboration, and help bring new voices into the Responsible Tech movement.
