Most black conferences are just one big ass party.
At least, for the ones that I've been to, companies were on deck hiring on the spot, which offset the social activities.
For upwardly mobile, family minded black men, these are good places to find mates on the same wave as you. I can imagine many black women go there with this in mind.

If you work in tech you know these hoes are not for marriage or family creation
Facts
White Wall Street investment bankers and lawyers marry up these white sorority sluts who fukked the whole football team with no problems.
At some point, talented and ambitious black people need to be linking up. If a black woman graduated from Exeter and MIT and is now working in tech, she should be scooped up.
People with high academic and professional pedigrees are the ones passing generational wealth down. Some black folks need to grow up trying to seek perfection in a mate.

It sounds good when you type it out. The nuanced part of the argument white women are more cooperative with their white counterparts.
Black women making bread are not very cooperative or going to let go of power in the home. A lot of black women that would be at AfroTech want the power couple thing "partnership" thing.

I mean, I can understand this. But many of these women have social capital that 90% of black woman lack. That's hard to pass up when thinking about building a family.

You could say that but Afrotech isn’t doing a good job at dressing itself up as a professional, two years ago my job was begging me to go and I turned it down , this time I had to make a strong case to make them pay for it . They gotta play it cooler
I came in this thread thinking yall gonna be discussing some dope event where black professionals network from different tech fields and find out all uou nikkas talking about is….ass 
White folks and Asians don’t play these type of games at events at defcon. They there about business and learning about the new tricks of the trade, not…..how many bad bytches they can scoop up

A lot of threads on The Coli turn in that direction.
the only folks I saw hyping this were those LinkedIn dudes who try to turn their career into a brand so they can sell overpriced courses/consultations.
oh and women who are in tech adjacent roles at tech companies.

Most of the promo material was folks doing the electric slide, Rick Ross, and club scenes. They say, "oh, well you have to promo the social so people will come" But that's the problem. It's should simply be "known" that stuff will happen. There needs to be something more actionable going on. Issa Rae speaking platitudes to a crowd doesn't have much value. Walkthroughs on how folks can leverage specific technologies in development and building out infrastructure are far more valuable in reality. Talks on how successful entreprenuers are leveraging existing tech including low-code and no-code would be extremely valuable. I'm just speedily typing this all out... but my overarching point is that there's too much emphasis on how "lit" everything is and symbolic black excellence in tech without digging into any nuts and bolts.
