Tech Groups

Our goal and mission is to “stomp the divide” between Black tech workers and to fundamentally influence and effect change on an industry that has historically not sought parity with respect to Black workers. Our intent is to level the playing field through training, education, networking, and mentorship with the support of allies, partners, sponsors, and most importantly our global members. 

The goal of ChaTech Women is to inspire connect and support women and girls in technology pursuits through education, networking, and mentoring so they may advance professionally and personally.

Things are heating up with generative AI. It's hard to keep up with news, much less stay on top of all the new technologies. This group is for developers to help each other understand all the new developments in AI, teach each other new techniques, and generally figure out which waves to ride and which to swim under.

This group is open to all, but the goal is to keep it pretty technical (i.e. we're going to come at it from a product/programming angle). LLM comparisons, self-hosting LLMs, LangChain, task planning, and prompt engineering within automated flows are some topics we may dig into. If you are excited about what you may be able to build with this technology, this group is for you.
