AUTMHQ UPDATES Hola & Hello, Paty!
As we enter the month of May, we realize how quickly time is passing and how much we have accomplished! In terms of events, we have already held around eight in four months, including ReThink Austin 2022, which was a one-day occurrence. We are soon presenting Day in the Life, Horizons, and AUTM Talks by AUTMHQ, as well as other seasonal events. Austin Urban Technology Movement (AUTMHQ) hosts numerous events throughout the year to promote networking. In a world where virtual interactions are so meaningful, hybrid events are reaching out to a global community that will benefit from meeting contacts in the same field and sharing common interests. Networking has a significant impact on the tech industry these days because it demonstrates how important technology has become in our daily lives for communicating and interacting with one another. In addition, we have guests who are experts in their fields and therefore provide us with information about how the industry is doing these days. This encourages all of our attendees to continue their education and stay current on these topics, as the tech world offers a plethora of opportunities. Remember that AUTMHQ events are extremely valuable because our attendees learn a lot from our panelists and speakers; thus, you must stay up to date to be a part of these fun and exciting celebrations of knowledge!
