About this Event
What happens when queer technologists of different generations share the choices, challenges, and defining moments that shaped their lives — not just their careers? Join us for Queer Tech Stories Across Generations, a one-night-only storytelling event presented by Out in Tech in collaboration with The Generations Project, a nonprofit that’s been archiving LGBTQ+ stories for over a decade.
We’re spotlighting six queer voices from across the tech industry — spanning decades, disciplines, and identities — who will take the mic to share 6–8 minute personal stories. No slide decks. No job titles. Just lived experience: the pivotal moments, missed turns, mentors, and inner convictions that helped them find (or fight for) their place in tech.
This event is about legacy, resilience, and reclaiming the intergenerational guidance many of us missed due to the AIDS crisis. Our storytellers include a founding member of the Association for Computing Machinery for Women, the founder of NonBinary Solutions, a social technologist, and more.
Whether you’re early in your journey or reflecting on it, you’ll walk away with powerful insight, connection, and maybe even a spark to share your own story.
