GUEST SPEAKERS
On June 25th, Tech Exchange invites you to join us for the Serve2STEM Future Leaders Celebration: A special evening dedicated to recognizing the incredible young leaders who have completed our Serve2STEM Internship Program (FY 25-26).
Over the past year, our interns have gained hands-on experience in device refurbishing, IT support, and digital navigation, while directly contributing to closing the digital divide across the Bay Area. From preparing computers for families in need to supporting community members with essential tech skills, their work has created real, lasting impact.
Join us for an inspiring evening in support of our future leaders. This celebration is more than an event—it is a moment to honor growth, resilience, and the power of opportunity. The program will feature remarks from local community and business leaders, as well as Tech Exchange leadership, alongside local entertainment, a networking hour, guided tours of the Tech Exchange Production Warehouse, a photo booth, and more.

TICKET OPTIONS
Each purchase goes towards bridging the digital divide!
Our 30th Anniversary shines a spotlight on a critical truth: digital access is now a social determinant of health. Without access to devices, the internet, or digital skills, thousands are locked out of essential health resources - from Telehealth and mental health services to Medi-Cal enrollment and medical records portals.
​
Tech Exchange has always worked in deep partnership with anchor institutions across sectors to advance digital equity. As part of our 30th Anniversary Celebration, we are bringing together healthcare providers, public health agencies, social services organizations, and community leaders to explore the urgent and growing intersection between digital inclusion and public health.
Healthcare & Social Services Highlight
Tech Exchange’s 30th Anniversary Celebration will serve as a convening to address these systematic challenges and create lasting solutions that ensure digital equity becomes an integral component of community health and well-being. Our celebration will feature representation and remarks from:
​
-
Local and National Healthcare Providers
-
Public Health Agencies
-
Community Health Workers
-
Managed Care Plans
-
Health Tech Innovators
-
Social Service Organizations
​
Together, we’ll engage in dialogue around shared challenges, promising practices, and opportunities for cross- sector collaboration, advancing digital access as a foundational pillar of health equity. This convening will reinforce the importance of collective impact as a driving force behind our work, uniting healthcare, technology, education, and social service sectors to ensure no community is left behind in the digital age. Support our work and our collective efforts today!
