Is TechGroove Fest only for minority tech professionals?
No TechGroove is not only for minorities but the companies who are sponsoring the event specifically want to increase the racial, gender, and sexual orientation diversity on their teams. So, while heterosexual cisgendered European-American men are able to join us as we celebrate diversity, the focus of the event is indeed for people of color to be granted opportunities to even the bias playing field.
What makes TechGroove Fest different from other tech festivals?
Instead of just showing off new products, or just having a stale career fair, or just having a musical showcase, or just having panels and workshops, we’ve decided that they should all be presented together in a cohesive experience. No other technology and innovation festival east of the Mississippi River combines the aforementioned elements with Millennials in mind.
