Rose Broome, HandUp
“The future is already here; it’s just not evenly distributed.” Technology has radically changed our lives and society; however, the US government and domestic nonprofits face major challenges in adopting new systems and approaches. As these civic entities lag in adopting technology, we will only see further marginalization of the poorest households. In this keynote fireside chat, we will explore innovative new approaches to bridging the technology divide in the US and thinking bigger about inclusive systems for the future.
