2026 Global Conference Seattle, WA, USA October 1, 2026, 11:45 AM-12:45 PM PT Description: Tech careers are increasingly nonlinear, with professionals moving across roles and disciplines instead of climbing a single ladder, and accelerated by rapid changes in technology. Panelists will discuss how to guide students toward their post-secondary tech careers understanding the vast possibilities in the public interest technology (PIT) field and how to incorporate lists of early-career PIT job profiles, PIT employers, and the use of case studies to address the global community's critical need for public interest technologists.
