Fordham’s inaugural Public Interest Technology Gathering – Registration is open! 

 

April 29, 2024 – 140 W. 62nd Street, NYC, McNally auditorium




Fordham’s Public Interest Technology Gathering will bring together a diverse group of academics and professionals from the greater New York area for a day-long conference where we will discuss and explore research, practices, and pedagogies related to public interest technology. We have received and selected proposals from academics and practitioners to present their work that is related to the broad field of public interest technology, or “tech for good.” Kicking off the day will be a fireside talk between Afua Bruce, author of the Tech That Comes Next, and Fordham Law’s Zephyr Teachout.
