35th Anniversary Kickoff
Join MMTC for our inaugural Champions of Digital Equality and 35th Anniversary Kickoff event, which is being held virtually on Wednesday, December 9th, from 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM

At this event, we will kick off MMTC’s 35th anniversary by honoring and acknowledging MMTC champions and innovators. Immediately following the awards ceremony, we will feature a roundtable discussion and presentation of MMTC’s “AI and Civil Rights” White Paper Series focused on civil rights and artificial intelligence in the age of Big Data, and the way that data and algorithms can either marginalize, or benefit, communities of color.
