Forum for Ethics &
Emerging Technology
A space where critical discussions around uses, intentions and tradeoffs for new forms of technology.
A closer look at how we shape the tools shaping society.
Vision
Help makers in tech gain tools they can integrate into their own work as they encounter these new modalities of technology.
First Forum Event
In 2018, I designed, coordinated and hosted the first (free) forum event which drew over 25 tech professionals across Philadelphia region as we listened to three speakers share about topics ranging from crowdsourcing climate change, VR for middle school education to Block Chain for healthcare.
Each presenter shared questions that lead to critical conversations in our breakout sessions as participants personalized and wrestled with the information shared.
Following this event, participants completed a survey to share their preferences for event structure, topics and interest to help facilitate upcoming forums.
I’m extremely proud of how this event turned out. Though this took place two years ago, and I’m now recruiting an advisory team to plan these events quarterly - likely the next one will be online given our current climate.
