notes
DDN is a non-profit trade association whose mission is to advance diversity, create access & champion inclusion within the digital and technology sectors.
Web Lab is a New York-based non-profit think tank that encourages and supports innovation on the Web, with a special emphasis on developing the potential of the medium to bring people together to explore both personal and public issues in powerful, transforming ways. It was created on the premise that the Web can be more than an efficient place to find and buy commercial products or to access information on any topic under the sun. It is also an extremely powerful communications medium that provides unprecedented opportunities for people with diverse backgrounds and experiences to connect with, and learn from, each other.
As an NCCER accredited assessment center, we offer more than 80 different assessments, in over 70 different craft areas. When you successfully complete testing, we use the NCCER's Registry System to record your completions and you are issued the appropriate credentials. It is these portable, industry-recognized credentials that many industry leaders look for when making employment decisions.
OUR FOCUS IS ON BUILDING DIGITAL EQUITY The Institute for Digital Progress (iDP) is a non-profit, civic organization dedicated to improving Arizonans' quality of life through the advancement of state-wide digital equity and inclusion. Tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, iDP is structured to achieve the greatest community impact and sustainable financial success. An alliance of public, private, NGO, and academic institutions, iDP is a powerful collective of dedicated organizations working together to ensure connectivity for all Arizonans and to drive continuous participation and added value once connectivity is attained.
Digital Bridge works to open up new opportunities to impoverished people in our local and global communities who have been left behind in technology. By working with local nonprofits to provide technical service and computer lab donations, we've implemented over 20 computer labs spanning across three continents. Our impact has reached as far as improving the quality of education in rural Kenya to providing tools to find employment in inner city Milwaukee.
We believe that poverty can be further diminished through technology access from the goodwill of partnered nonprofits and large entity sponsors. At Digital Bridge, our goal is to turn one person's trash into another's treasure. In the spirit of the open source movement, we have made our processes available so others can join our mission and help us create a better world.

See why thousands of parents, educators, and members of law enforcement in all 50 states turn to DFI to help kids make better life decisions. Our curriculum is updated regularly with the latest findings to help kids make smart decisions about the role technology plays in their lives.
Our aim is to support sustained efforts to eliminate the digital divide as a barrier to economic and educational opportunity. As a federally tax-exempt nonprofit, NCDE provides free dissemination and policy education as well as comprehensive, fee-based consulting services, in support of digital equity for economic and educational inclusion.
Our commitment is to "field building" - generating a sustained national infrastructure to support evidence-based practices in eliminating the digital divide as the crushing barrier it presents to the nation's low- and moderate-income learners and communities.

Black Boys Code is a national organization with our U.S. head office in Atlanta, Georgia, and several chapters across Canada.
There is a very real diversity gap in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields. Black Boys Code is working to fill that gap by educating Black Youth to become tomorrow's creators and innovators of technology through exposure workshops, summer camps, and after school programs.
We don't just teach how to code. We help our youth develop critical problem solving and leadership skills in a collaborative and supportive environment. We give Black youth the tools to shape their own future, and show our youth how to be leaders.

Digital Promise was created with the mission to accelerate innovation in education to improve opportunities to learn.
American education has pockets of excellence that outshine the best of the best around the world. All across the country, students are designing, coding, composing, animating, and publishing. They are experimenting and solving problems of water and energy, creating community guides and gardens, and connecting across cultural and national borders through virtual exchanges.
All across the country, innovative education leaders and classroom teachers are engaging, motivating, and nurturing students to develop mindsets for lifelong learning. And yet, huge gaps exist between learning outcomes, graduation rates, and college readiness of students based on race, class, and where they live.
Gaps exist between high-performing and under-performing schools based on differences in access to funding and resources, community commitment, and the willingness of school leaders to innovate. Gaps exist between the abilities of adults to be productive in a rapidly changing global economy and good citizens in a democracy based on the quality of their experiences in school.
Our vision is that all people at every stage of their lives have access to learning experiences that help them acquire the knowledge and skills they need to thrive and continuously learn in an ever-changing world.

Since 2010, more than 34,000 girls from 100+ countries have created apps to solve community problems. With the help of volunteer mentors, they've produced mobile app startups that have helped address problems in local and global communities the world over. And while each year more and more teams take up the challenge, we know that there are always more problems to solve - and that there are people from every part of the world ready to solve them.
Previously held in San Jose at San Jose Theater in 2018.

Help us build the workforce the world needs Founded in San Francisco in 2007, at the start of the tech boom, we saw a real need for spaces dedicated to underrepresented voices throughout the industry. It's been our commitment, since day one, to make every voice heard. You can help us do it - and elevate your own brand at the same time.
