Last year, the conference was only virtual due to COVID-19. The founders of Black Men Talk Tech say they are looking forward to this year's event and connecting with other tech entrepreneurs in person.
“We've definitely had to learn a lot on the fly. I mean, it's truly a founder story to pivot. So we went from having a great first year of a conference in person and just ready to rock it out, then second year in the world stops,” said Evan Leaphart, co-founder of the conference.
Boris Moyston is one of the three founders. He says they kept the same virtual format from last year's conference.

“We're doing the same thing this year, but you know, we see people ... the communities are opening up again, so we wanted to have some ability to facilitate for in-person meeting,” he said.
