SXSW 2019
Politics in Tech: When the Bubble Bursts
Description:
There is a cultural perception in both America and throughout the political sector that tech companies and their employees share homogeneous political views, but is this really the case? Have our perceptions of what we see in media, the personalities of enigmatic CEOs, and perky benefits colored our views of what is valued in the tech industry? How do those views impact how tech interacts with government, their customers, and their potential employees?
