VISION WORKSHOP: Tech & Inclusion in 2035?
Let’s explore our vision for the future of technology and create visual representations of our hopes, dreams, and ideas. What could the next ten years hold for inclusion, innovation, and belonging in tech? How can our diverse perspectives shape the way we work, create, and imagine technology in 2035?
