Evolving from the inaugural Tech Day in 2018, the Tech Week is 5 full days of programming aimed at giving all Ross students a platform to learn from and interact with the largest Tech businesses that are changing our world today.
The theme of this year's conference is Tech for Everyone, which is anchored in making technology and the industry itself accessible to all. Throughout the week, we will explore how inclusivity can be built into technology, from hiring diverse talent to creating more accessible products. Sessions will include Black Advancement in Tech, Inclusive Design of Wellness Products, and Health Tech for Everyone. We are excited to explore these topics with a diverse set of panelists and speakers representing different industries, backgrounds, and lived experiences.
