AFROTECH™ Series, The Meetup, Is Coming To A City Near You

Seattle, WA, AFROTECH™ is on its way back!

Last year, the “Emerald City” was one of the cities where the AFROTECH™ Executive was held. The event featured a fireside chat titled “Sustainable Leadership: Thriving in Your New Role” with Laxman Narasimhan, the CEO of Starbucks. Now, Starbucks and AFROTECH™ have joined forces once again to create a space for Black techies and creatives to commune.

The final stop this year of The Meetup series’ in-person events is Seattle. As AFROTECH™ previously told you, The Meetup series is an in-person and virtual networking event series where tech innovators, trailblazers, creatives, and more get the chance to mingle within their cities. The Meetup series kicked off in April 2024 and has made its rounds so far to Miami, FL; Nashville, TN; New York City, NY; and Cincinnati, OH.

On August 15, AFROTECH™ Seattle Meetup | Presented by Starbucks is heading to The Collective Seattle, where the local Seattle tech talent and community are set to connect with both new and familiar faces during the networking portion. In addition, attendees have the opportunity to take part in a VIP reception.
