Seattle’s innovation community punches far above its weight, shaping the experiences of billions of people across the globe. And yet, in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, “Through our scientific and technological genius, we have made of this world a neighborhood and yet we have not had the ethical commitment to make of it a brotherhood.” We have tremendous access. We have remarkable privilege. Our individual and collective choices matter. 

Co-Sponsored by Seattle Public Library, the University of Washington, MOHAI and the Seattle Channel, Innovating Equity unites leaders from across Seattle’s innovation community driving transformational change at the intersection of technology, equity and community. Featuring inspiring thought leaders from across our region, the event invites us to take measure of the present moment, bringing forward inspiring, actionable visions for our shared innovation community as we imagine the future forward towards a more equitable, resilient, joyous world.

Join us at the Seattle Central Library on Friday, March 29, 2024 as we take a moment to imagine the future together.
