OUR MISSION
To increase the percentage of women and minorities in technology careers through technology education and technology conference participation.
THE PROBLEM
There is a dearth of minority conference attendees at technology conferences in America and the number of women attendees as a percentage of men is also very low. TechCamp was formed to help promote diversity in technology conferences and thus increase diversity in technology employment.
WHAT WE CAN DO
Recruit women and minority college students and those mid-career professionals returning back to school to attend one technology conference each year.
The goal is that a substantial proportion of TechCampers will be able to make invaluable networking relationships that allow them to obtain invaluable internships and interviews at technology companies.
