About Blacks In Technology Las Vegas
Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, Blacks In Technology Foundation represents the largest community of Black professionals in the technology industry, dedicated to fundamentally transforming representation and equity in tech. For over a decade, the organization has worked to "stomp the divide"—addressing the persistent reality that Black workers often find themselves as the only Black person in their department or on their team. The organization's mission extends beyond individual career advancement to effect systemic change within an industry that has historically failed to achieve parity with Black workers. Through a comprehensive approach combining education, mentorship, networking, and access to resources, Blacks In Technology Las Vegas empowers members across all technology disciplines and career paths. The foundation's leadership team comprises experienced technologists and educators with lifelong careers in the industry, ensuring that guidance and resources reflect real-world expertise and commitment. The organization encompasses technologists, technology leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, and transitional professionals—recognizing that innovation and excellence require diverse perspectives and experiences. Trust and transparency form the core values of the executive leadership, with all directors dedicated to providing meaningful opportunities for member growth. The inaugural Blacks In Technology Foundation Impact Report documents the organization's achievements in workforce development, representation, innovation, and visibility. Community-focused activities, events, and outreach initiatives—including the annual BITCON conference—continue to establish blueprints of world-class technical excellence while advancing careers and driving meaningful industry transformation.
