Let's Tech the Borders Down

Mar 9, 2018

11:00am – 12:00pm CT

Techfugees started out as a Facebook post by TechCrunch Editor-at-large Mike Butcher and grew into a movement and non-profit spread across five continents which aims to use tech to help the displaced. Two years later, Techfugees' CEO Josephine Goube tells the story of a simple idea that turned into a global movement and how migration has driven human innovation for thousands of years. Spoiler alert: and it’s showing no sign of slowing down anytime soon.
