SUMMARY:The Present and Future of Gaming
DESCRIPTION:Electronic gaming is a huge industry\, larger even than music and film\, and encompasses options and platforms for everyone: From casual games on smartphones\, to visually realistic games on consoles and PCs\, to massive online games and platforms leveraging data centers and clouds. \nIt has inspired tremendous amounts of content on social media and streaming services\, and has spawned E-sports leagues and competitions. And yet\, gaming should not be thought of solely in terms of entertainment. Advances in games and delivery platforms drive technology advances in components and systems that have benefits in other areas of business and life. And\, gaming techniques can be used to enhance education and learning\, human productivity\, skills development and training\, and more. \nLearn from gaming and design experts Patrick Currey (Farbridge) and Erik Summa (Dell Technologies) about the latest trends and technologies in gaming (including those just announced at CES!)\, how the gaming industry and landscape are changing and its influence on business and society.​

SUMMARY:How Can Tech Companies Support Social Good?
DESCRIPTION:Tech is booming even in the midst of a global pandemic. Many tech companies are achieving better-than-ever revenue and profits\, sending tech stocks soaring. Salaries for tech executives and engineers are rising as well which creates a competitive marketplace for top talent. But this prosperity is not shared by all. In tech\, women and people of color are underrepresented and under compensated. For those not in tech careers/companies pressures on rising costs of living squeeze tight margins even more. These disparities can significantly increase inequities for marginalized communities. \nBut all is not lost. With the proper mindset and tools\, the tech community can both continue to achieve AND contribute to the social good. We are here to share ways that companies and individuals can give back. \nIn this discussion\, moderators (and Austin civic/community leaders) Chelsea Collier and Jessica Sager will share programs and avenues to encourage your next steps. We also welcome the opportunities to add ideas and programs to this discussion. So get ready to get creative and help our community leapfrog the possible!
