FairTech Day
Advancing diversity & equity across the tech sector.
FairTech Day explores how emerging technologies can reduce/ deepen inequality across society, education, work and public services.
The event brings together community organisations, educators, accessibility advocates, policymakers and technology leaders to examine how inclusion (gender, ethnic, neurodiverse plus social mobility, LGBTIQ+) can be embedded into the design, deployment and governance of technology.
The programme will focus on inclusive AI, accessibility, digital exclusion, ethical innovation and practical approaches to ensuring technological progress creates meaningful social impact across communities.
