AUTMHQ UPDATE
Hola and Hello, Austin Urban Technology Movement (AUTMHQ) is proud to present the fifth edition of ReThink Austin in collaboration with Harlem Lab and invites you to join our FREE all-day event during AfroTech on Nov. 4th. At ReThink Austin we will explore equitable solutions for topics related to community impact, technology, entrepreneurship, and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). With gentrification on the rise and a growing skills gap in technology, ReThink Austin "re-thinks" the City of Austin's trajectory in an effort to prevent further divide between the haves and have-nots. This year's theme of Emerging Technology will focus on new and emerging technology, as well as the ongoing evolution of existing technology as it relates to our session topics.

Sincerely,
The AUTMHQ Team
