Closing Plenary
This panel unites a diverse group of professionals across pivotal sectors to crystallize the retreat’s discussions and insights into a strategic vision for community transformation through technology.
The finale panel conversation, unlike any standard discussion, is designed to weave together the multifaceted threads of justice, housing, research, economic development, education, workforce empowerment, artificial intelligence, health & wellness, and commerce. These panelists, drawn from the retreat’s rich tapestry of speakers and participants, will share the stage to delve into the “how” behind a community’s successful integration and utilization of technology.
From justice-impacted individuals who have seen firsthand the power of digital tools for rehabilitation and reintegration, to urban planners leveraging tech to solve the housing crisis, the session promises a multidimensional narrative on the catalytic role of technology. The conversation will explore real-world applications that exemplify how minority communities can not only catch up with the digital revolution but lead it.
The session will spotlight actionable strategies that have yielded success, focusing on the deployment of technological resources to overcome historical disparities. It will offer a nuanced look at how AI can democratize education, how digital platforms can elevate minority and women-owned businesses, and how telehealth and telemedicine can revolutionize healthcare access in rural and urban settings.
