Out in Tech NYC | Queer Tech Stories Across Generations: Spring Edition
Advertisement
Join us Thursday April 16 at Spotify as 6 queer technologists share the journeys and formative moments that shaped who they are today.
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.


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.


📍 Hosted at Spotify (4 World Trade Center, New York NY)
