A Community of Technologists, Data Scientists, and Nerds Creating Global Impact.
Data and technology is changing the way we travel, collaborate, communicate, entertain ourselves, and our politics. At Good Tech Fest we believe data and technology can change the way we deliver impact too. Far too often impact oriented organizations focus on using data and technology to manage the organization but not the organization’s impact. We seek to change that.
Our community is made up of people obsessed with creating impact in the world. We just use the tools of data science and technology to do that. We work as product managers, developers, data scientists, analysts, program officers, social workers and more in nonprofits, foundations, social enterprises, and government agencies. We seek to understand the risks and rewards of a more data driven impact economy.
We have people from all over the world participate in Good Tech Fest. Learn more about upcoming events (all virtual events are on Central Standard Time) and join our Slack community below.
Funding Impact Technology & Digital Transformation Event
Wednesday, January 19 from 1-4 PM CST
One of the biggest challenges facing digital transformation of social sector organizations is funding. It has been difficult for philanthropy to fund digital technologies and bring them to scale and it has been even harder for social entrepreneurs to find funding. We will explore what has worked in this space and how we can improve the funding environment for impact technologies and digital transformation. If this topic lights you up we would love for you to speak at this event. Fill out our simple application here.
