January 29th – Open Spaces: What to Expect in 2026

​The wait is over. ToC’s highly anticipated annual tech gathering returns Thursday!

Let’s be honest: The 2026 tech landscape feels turbulent. Between rapid AI maturity, shifting market dynamics, and a volatile job market, it’s hard to know where to focus.

That’s why this year, we aren’t just looking at gadgets… we are looking at resilience.

Join us for an evening that moves beyond the hype. No lectures, no spectators. Just honest dialogue, hands-on demos, and real community support.

We are tackling the questions that keep you up at night:
🤖 AI in Action: What can it actually do? (And what can’t it do?)
🦾 Robotics: Where are the real career opportunities in hardware and automation?
📉 The Pivot: Strategies for surviving layoffs and thriving in a shifting economy.

Why this year is different: We are focusing heavily on advocacy. Organizations like Technologists of Color want to hear from you directly to help build the support systems you need.

Come prepared to answer three questions:
1️⃣ How can we help?
2️⃣ What’s holding you back?
3️⃣ Where are the wins?

This is a space where every voice is valued. Whether you are a senior leader or looking for your first role, you belong here.

📅 When: Thursday, January 29, 2026
⏰ Time: Networking starts at 6:00 PM
📍 Where: Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs
504 Fair St SW, Atlanta, GA 30313
