ReThink Austin 2023

Saturday | November 4th | 9 a.m.- 9 p.m. CDT |
The Headliners Club

Austin Urban Technology Movement (AUTMHQ) proudly presents the fifth edition of ReThink Austin in collaboration with Harlem Labs. During this all-day event, ReThink Austin will explore equitable solutions in technology, entrepreneurship, community impact, transportation, education and energy. 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 educated and uneducated, the experienced and inexperienced, and 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 in the areas of education, transportation, technology, energy, entrepreneurship and community impact. ReThink Austin will examine how technology innovations are being developed and discuss the social and economic impact of these innovations.

This panel, which was moderated by Paty Sesma, VP of MarCom at AUTMHQ, provided an excellent opportunity to share the stories of accomplished women in technology. We had a really fascinating and informative conversation about the challenges that women face in the workplace or as entrepreneurs. We talked about Impostor Syndrome and, of course, the significant achievements of our panelists, Taisha Dotson, Melinda Garvey, Muna Hussaini, and Mercedes Ballard. This was such an uplifting discussion.

ReThink Austin 2021 Technology Session: Protecting your Digital Footprint

How worried should we be about our privacy and data in the twenty-first century as technology evolves? How concerned should we be about our digital footprint when we use the Internet? During this session, we want to raise awareness about our data trail and how each click on our devices leaves an imprint that another person may view. We are leaving traces of our online behavior for others to follow. These are just a few of the many questions we will take away from this session.
