    TECH for GOOD: LIVE in Los Angeles!

    Thank you to everyone who made it! We streamed the panel portion of the event live on Facebook – for the interactive part there is no streaming, you’ll have to make it in person ♥

    ***

    Are you passionate about both technology and doing good? Are you looking to change careers and work in tech? Do you already work in tech, but wish you could be making a bigger impact? Do you want to tech for good?

    Join Repurpose Your Purpose on August 30th for an in-depth discussion about what it's like to take the leap and land a job in tech, or start your own business, while staying true to your values and making an impact.
    One of the biggest issue that holds people back from changing careers is the fear they will have to choose between making good money and doing something meaningful. When it comes to tech, often the biggest role models and most famous entrepreneurs have great tech and business acumen, but lack the will to improve society. But does it have to be that way?

    Meet four successful professionals and entrepreneurs who changed careers and merged their commitment to making a difference with their passion or interest in technology. The best part? You don't have to be a "techie" to do it.

    Change Careers: Tech for Good

    ARE YOU READY TO MAKE A LIVING DOING SOMETHING THAT YOU LOVE?

    No BS, no fluff, come ready to:

    • Learn how to find a fulfilling career that WORKS FOR YOU
    • LEARN FROM SUCCESSFUL CAREER CHANGERS who already took the leap - and landed successfully
    • CONNECT with like minded professionals and entrepreneurs
    • PANEL TALK + AUDIENCE Q&A + START EXPLORING YOUR OWN CAREER CHANGE:
    • How to OVERCOME your fear of having to choose between money and purpose
    • How to LEVERAGE the skills and experience you already have to work in TECH
    • How to think BIG, and make the impossible POSSIBLE
    • How to look for and find COMPANIES that value more than just making a profit

    Our four panelists all took a big leap and made dramatic career changes. Feel inspired, get new insights, and find a community of Repurposers to pursue your dreams with.

    Psst: This is NOT going to be your typical panel discussion
