I live here but am on maternity leave atm. That’s cool a lot of women in a group I’m in were asking about events and attending. How much was the ticket and did your job pay for it?

My job paid for it but I think companies are getting wise to what is going on down there , to be honest is was a three day party with some talks during the day .

Austin is 8 percent black what you saw is NOT a representation of the average weekend that was all Afrotech

This has been popping up on my radar recently. Seems like it has really taken over NBMBAA’s lane especially on job apps.

Any brehs who have been is it still predominately black, or is there a lot of Indians and Chinese invading it or do they gatekeep?

It’s definitely a more sophisticated freak-nik I bagged two myself and they were 8’s I saw dudes out there winning for real .

As you can see by the responses in this thread its not really tech focused.

I heard its mainly partying and vibes amid the backdrop of a conference. People who went there for a job and to network werent too happy with it. Plus tickets being $600+ is just ridiculous.

1. Next year it's in Houston. I plan on going it's about to be a fun weekend.

2. I didn't even go and submitted my resume online. One company reached out to me on LinkedIn to interview.

Tix for next year are $325 until the end of March.

I didn't go this year cause I wanted the job to pay for it

Im seeing that breh, was hoping to get actually feedback or if it catered to us exclusively. Guess I’ll stick to the NBMBAA
