Monthly Events News & Updates

I am excited to announce that Blacks In Technology, Inc. has recently restructured our 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. We are now a member driven organization governed by a board of directors with chapters throughout the US. Formal membership options are now available. Become an official BIT NYC member for access to exclusive events, promotions, and professional development opportunities.
Additionally, BIT NYC has collaborated with Microsoft to leverage their Microsoft Reactor event space in Manhattan. We look forward to hosting in person events once social distance measures are no longer required.
Lastly, I encourage you to help us get the word out. Share our group with your friends and ERGs. Let me know the types of events you would like to see. Since we're all limited physically, let's be productive virtually.
Sincerely,
Dennis Schultz, BIT NYC President, BIT National Board Member
