Social Impact Series: Tech 4 Good

SEE EVENT DETAILS
at PariSoMa (see times)
We're excited to be partnering with Calso and Epic foundation for our first ever Social Impact Series! 
Whether you're a tech startup that has gained 50,000 users over night or has received enough seed funding to get your project up and running, the tech sector still lacks the drive to reach the 4 corners of the world and make an impact on lives that matter most. We're bringing together a panel to ask, what is still holding people back from giving? And what type of tech technology platforms are making it easier for startups & corporates to give back?Agenda: 
6:00 - 6:30pm  Doors Open 
6:30 - 7:30pm  Panel
7:30 - 8:00pm  Networking
8:00 - 8:30pm  Close
