Powered Up Tech Fest at Duke Energy Center for the Arts - Mahaffey Theater
Thu May 19, 1:00 PM - Thu May 19, 6:00 PM

We've curated an event with sessions on key trends to not only enlighten but inspire those working in tech in Tampa Bay, with tangible learnings to take back to their workplaces and amplify their projects and initiatives.

This year's tracks will take a deeper dive into top trends in cybersecurity, the metaverse, blockchain, crypto, bitcoin, NFTs, sustainability in tech, tech for good, DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion,) leadership, the current state of our tech workforce and more!

This year's sessions include:

• A Look into the Metaverse with Accenture

• CISO Panel, moderated by Pam Lindemoen, CISO Advisor, Cisco

• The Future is Female Led Panel, moderated by Lauren Coffey, TBBJ & Inno

• Tech for Good: Purpose-driven Innovation with AWS presented by Patricia Cesaire, Global ID&E Strategic Customer Engagement Leader

And, this year's Keynote: Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, with Joe Hamilton, Founder of Catalyst and Metacity.

We will have live podcasts from Live Bold & Boss UP!

For the first year ever, we will feature GeekRow - an expo hall of technologists holding live demos of their technology for attendees to see, learn and dive into!

And, as always, a fantastic happy hour from 5-6 to network and catch up.
