Organized around the theme of Partnership for Impact, the 2023 Convening explored how universities can partner with government, companies, universities and community organizations to foster public interest technology, and address modern challenges.

Many thanks to New America, our distinguished guests, panelists and moderators, Convening staff, and more, for spurring powerful conversations and ensuring the event’s overall success.

”Increasingly, our society has to navigate challenging sociotechnical issues ranging from privacy and security to algorithmic fairness and bias in AI. These are issues that government, public, and private organizations must tackle collectively, and ones that universities are best positioned to address through collaborative, interdisciplinary research.” Azer Bestavros, Associate Provost for Computing & Data Sciences at Boston University
