Smart Town

2019 SmartTown Conference 

The Penny Foundation’s mission is threefold: to collect and disseminate important information, elevate and support critical work in the Black community and provide the best resources for the Black community. The one-day Smart Town conference will help the community integrate technology into its everyday life.

A mix of panel discussions and instructor-led seminars for technology users of all levels, the conference will empower community members in four tracks: Faith, Education, Entrepreneurship and Social Impact. Attendees will have the opportunity to directly engage with products and services and learn first-hand how technology can improve their communities.

Join us at the 2019 conference scheduled for May 18, 2019.
