Good morning. Tech companies aren’t the only ones competing for top-tier tech talent. Big banks, insurance companies, and retail companies, for example, are also aggressively recruiting to bring in those with tech skills.
I was in Houston last week to attend several sessions of the annual AfroTech Conference, created by Blavity, Inc., a technology and digital media company founded by Morgan DeBaun, who is the CEO. The event connects Black tech professionals and students with major companies across industries for networking, career opportunities, and panel discussions on topics like AI and cybersecurity.
