BDPACON23 Remix

On behalf of BDPA and the BDPA Atlanta Technology Foundation, our teams are glad to introduce you to a review of events recently shared during our 45th Annual BDPA National Conference in Atlanta Georgia! We were very excited to meet those from academia, government and industry who joined us in Atlanta, and look forward to our time together again next August in Atlanta, GA during BDPACON24. Consistent with our BDPACON23 theme, "Future Now", we offered a range of relevant topics, including sharing lessons of technical thought leadership, exploring techniques to succeed in emerging technology, highlighting the important models of talent development, as well as Black entrepreneurship in tech, just to name a few. Thank you for joining us in Atlanta to empower others. Together, we continue to expand greater opportunities for technology professionals and students in artificial intelligence (Ai), data science, gamification, high performance computing (HPC), and robotics, to effect positive change from the classroom to the boardroom. As we continue our journeys toward our 50th anniversary in 2025, we look forward to seeing you next August! Stay connected.
