Tech Rising Virtual Summit
Bridging the Digital Divide
About the Virtual Event
Tech Rising, an initiative led by AvidXchange in partnership with 20+ local corporations, strives to bridge the digital divide in Charlotte through strategic engagement with the Charlotte Digital Inclusion Alliance, as well as other local government, academic and nonprofit partnerships. We envision a digitally equitable and inclusive Charlotte.
​
The Tech Rising Virtual Summit on February 25th, hosted by SHARE Charlotte, will be an opportunity to bring these parties together to hear the state of Charlotte’s digital divide, knock down silos, network and identify actions to take. The key audience for this summit is TechRising’s corporate partners, but the audience and presenters will also include key stakeholders from the local government, academic and nonprofit organizations.
