Last month, Aspen Digital’s Tech Accountability Coalition held its first ever Product Equity Summit in Washington, DC. This first-of-its-kind gathering brought together nearly 100 senior tech leaders, civil society experts, and community advocates to take a critical look at how innovative products are built from the ground up… and who they actually benefit. Throughout the two and half days of diverse programming and intensive working meetings, one overarching theme remained constant: our future will only be brighter if it’s built for and by all.
Opening with a powerful fireside chat between Adobe’s Director of Product Timothy “TB” Bardlavens and equitable design advocate and pioneer Antoinette Carroll.
A discussion on the critical intersection of elections, AI, and impact on marginalized communities.
Sessions led by members of our Product Equity Working Group on topics including:
“If your product doesn’t work predictably for everyone, then it is broken.”
Attendees after the event shared feedback that the Product Equity Summit felt like a truly unique convening with a focus and diversity of attendance that is often hard to find. As a direct result of the convening and the ongoing work of the Product Equity Working Group, Aspen Digital will launch several in-depth insights and playbooks around this emerging field throughout the summer, fall, and end of the year.
