Our Grooviest Project Yet
The Light House
For a third year in a row, The Tech We Want is reprising The Light House to bring together tech leaders for a day of connection and conversations. The Tech We Want team, led by Aniyia Williams is on a mission to carve out an intentional space carved out to center the margins around technology, especially for those who might not otherwise have access to the standard SXSW programming.

THE LIGHT HOUSE hosts curated conversations with exceptional leaders offering fresh perspectives on technology and its community impact. Partnering with organizations like Omidyar Network, Black Innovation Alliance, and Stanford D.School, we’ve held community roundtables, panel discussions on responsible movement funding, and spotlighted the work of narrative changemakers in popular media. With multiple activations and participatory activities, THE LIGHT HOUSE fosters genuine connections and energizing conversations all day long.
At Night…
