PIT-UN Convening 2023 Look Back

Boston University, in partnership with New America’s PIT program, proudly hosted the annual Public Interest Technology University Network (PIT-UN) Convening 2023 on October 12-13, 2023 at the newly constructed Center for Computing & Data Sciences, 665 Commonwealth Ave., Boston, MA. Over 400 attended the in-person and virtual event.

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.
