Workshop: Creating a Tech For Good Declaration - Session #1

Log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Here’s where we stop talking about how tech has gone wrong and start getting specific about how to do things right. The Declaration session is a hand-on workshop that will engage participants in exploring what Tech for Good really means.

In this workshop, we’ll work together to develop key attributes that organizations should follow as they align their organization toward Tech for Good. We’ll have some open, pointed discussions, hear from business leaders who have created organizations worth emulating and examine national and international data from research conducted by Deloitte and IPSOS.

The goal of the workshop is to produce something real. Something concrete. Ok, probably a PDF, but it will be a set of clear directives, a declaration from True North attendees as to guiding principles that all aspiring organizations can follow on their way to Tech for Good.
