The Art and Science of Building Community
The Tech We Want is on a mission to create a transformative tech ecosystem by uniting, empowering and amplifying marginalized leaders, advocates, and entrepreneurs in the tech industry. Our mission is to collectively foster a future where everyone can thrive by collaboratively experimenting with and funding innovative cultural and economic infrastructures.
Tech Confidential is a panel series that brings together tech founders, investors, operators and organizers to discuss the work of building visionary alternatives that center human thriving and responsible innovation. Drawing on three years of work of building The Tech We Want, the series examines the emergent questions and challenges of building a new economy.
*Episode 5: The Art and Science of Building Community*
Aniyia Williams, lead of The Tech We Want, initiates a rich conversation with key community facilitators Maxine Yeo, Heather Mason, Chloe Jackman, and Prodpran Wangcherdchuwong on the importance of in-person gatherings.
They delve into the science and human connection benefits of these face-to-face interactions, the challenges and intentionality in planning them, and the meticulous considerations required to build trust and foster impactful dialogues.
The discussion also touches on the broader implications of creating inclusive spaces, the intricacies of relationship management, and the continuous evolution of their community-building techniques.
