July 22nd may have been a normal Monday for many... but for the JPMorganChase Tech for Social Good team (Alexa, Angelica, Anna, Dhanashri, Jenna, Julia, Louis, Mary, Morgan, Scott, and I) it was the first ever Tech Discovery Day!
The first ever TDD saw 10 New York based #nonprofit organizations come together for a day of knowledge sharing, networking, and conversation on technology as a catalyst in the social sector. Hosted sessions included:
A panel on technical implementation, with Anna Gomez, Scott Malinowski, Henggao Cai, & Marissa Wirth.
#Cybersecurity & safeguarding your organization, with Chee Peng Cheng & Brandon Li.
Curating an end-to-end experience focusing on #design principles, with Chris Boese, Lawrence Lipkin, Marisa Trezza, & JeeWon Shin.
Setting the foundation with #data and empowering your organization with the power of data, with the long-time TFSG volunteer Matthew Lansdell.
Understanding the #AI experience, what it is, and how to leverage AI tools.
And last but not least, impact social roundtables focused on sharing thought leadership across key themes & community questions in the social good tech landscape.
The day wrapped with a bit of fun too - food, drinks, and a nice networking reception as we looked upwards towards #jpmorganchase 's new 270 Park Ave. headquarters under construction.
A few memorable quotes from the day:
"We are all designers"
"The better you get at data science, the more you'll realize there's more to do"
"You don't know what you don't know"
"AI is a tool that still needs your intervention"
