Welcome to Tech Town Halls! Join us at Parkway Central Library's Business Resources & Innovation Center [BRIC] for an engaging panel discussion on the latest tech trends. Let's come together, share ideas, and inspire innovation in a casual setting - no tech experience necessary. Don't miss out on this opportunity to meet and connect with our panels of tech industry experts. See you there!

Description: In an interconnected world with ever- evolving novel technologies, internet access and digital literacy are no longer "nice-to-haves", they are fundamental services and rights. This week's Black Tech Philly Tech Town Hall dives into the heart of Philadelphia’s digital landscape to bridge the gap between resources and residents. Alongside a panel of tech experts, we will dismantle the barriers of "digital redlining," highlight the tools available today, and identify the critical resources our city is still missing. Join us to ensure every Philadelphian has the skills and support needed to thrive in the digital age.

Key Takeaways:

• Direct Expert Access: You won’t just hear from "tech experts"; you’ll have the chance to ask them direct questions about infrastructure, security, and local tech policy.
• A Seat at the Table: Through our community engagement segment, your feedback will help shape future digital equity strategies in Philadelphia, ensuring the city's tech growth includes every zip code.
• Free Zine booklet: Attendees will receive a curated Philly Tech Guide Zine; a handy, creative guide packed with fundamental tech reference knowledge and a comprehensive roadmap of the local organizations and resource hubs dedicated to supporting you *while supplies last.
