About Blacks In Technology New York City
Based in New York, NY, Blacks In Technology Foundation is a nonprofit organization on a mission to eliminate underrepresentation and create parity for Black workers throughout the technology industry. Recognizing that Black professionals often find themselves isolated as the only person of color on their team, BIT has spent over a decade building the largest global community of Black technologists to stomp the divide. The organization's leadership—composed of veterans with lifelong careers in technology and education—is committed to trust, transparency, and providing meaningful resources grounded in mentorship, training, and community connection. BIT's inclusive approach welcomes all allies and supporters, creating an environment where members uplift and encourage one another regardless of background. The foundation operates on core principles of leveling the playing field through education, networking, and strategic mentorship, supported by a network of partners, sponsors, and most importantly, its global membership. Members spanning all technology disciplines—from technologists and leaders to educators, entrepreneurs, and non-technical professionals—form a powerful community dedicated to advancing careers and driving innovation. BIT's signature annual conference, BITCON, brings the community together for world-class keynotes, hands-on workshops, and unparalleled networking. By providing career support, professional development, tech resources, and community events, Blacks In Technology Foundation is fundamentally influencing change in an industry historically lacking diversity, creating opportunities for Black professionals to thrive and lead.
