The Austin Forum on Technology & Society is a monthly community engagement activity bringing together technology leaders, advocates, and the public to learn about important technology topics such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), drones, clean energy, augmented reality (AR) & virtual reality (VR), gaming, smart cities, health tech, space exploration, and much more. Technology leaders and experts share information via presentations, interviews, panels, lightning talks, and/or debates. Presentations are following by Q&A and networking among the presenters and attendees.
​
The Forum is both an outreach event to raise awareness, share information, and even increase advocacy, and an engagement activity designed to form connections, stimulate collaborations, and contribute to technology applications that advance society.

ABOUT THE FORUM

MISSION
The Austin Forum engages and informs the Austin community about the importance and impact of technology on society and stimulates discussions, collaborations, and partnerships on new technology opportunities.

​COLLABORATIONS
The Austin Forum is designed to bring people together with diverse professions and points-of-view in order to increase the collaboration and the cross-fertilization of perspectives, experiences, and ideas. Attendees are encouraged to ask questions and engage with presenters. Immediately following each presentation, everyone has the opportunity to share ideas and explore collaborations, while enjoying light refreshments and drinks.

LEADERSHIP
The Austin Forum programming is led by Jay Boisseau, Executive Director, with guidance from an advisory board comprising leaders from technology companies and Austin companies that are partners of the Forum. Jessica Sager serves as Managing Director, ensuring the effective execution and promotion of the Austin Forum's growing activities.

HISTORY
The Austin Forum was conceived by Jay Boisseau, who launched in September 2006 under the management of the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) where it was held on the J.J. Pickle Research Campus in North Austin and at the AT&T Conference Center at The University of Texas at Austin through October 2014. In February 2015, Vizias relaunched the Austin Forum in downtown Austin, and it has grown into the premier monthly technology event series in Austin.
