"THRIVE conference was a game-changer for me. I had the opportunity to learn, connect and build relationships with tech leaders who look like me. Thanks to the connections I made at THRIVE, I was able to land my dream role at a top financial firm. I would say it is definitely worth it!"
"The THRIVE conference not only provided valuable knowledge but also connected me with job opportunities, becoming a pivotal moment in my tech journey. Thanks to the insights and connections I gained at THRIVE, I am now a confident and thriving professional in the field."
"Within ten months of attending THRIVE, I applied the insights gained to secure a role as a Security Engineer at UKG. Thanks to BMiT and THRIVE, I gained the knowledge and confidence to create a better life for myself and my family."
"THRIVE was an impactful and fun experience for me. Beyond the timely and thoughtful sessions that deepened professional insights, the stage was set for us to forge genuine connections with emerging and professional tech enthusiasts. I left energized and extremely grateful for my new genuine, lifelong, good for your soul connections!"
"Because of the people I’ve met at the past two THRIVE Conferences, I’ve doubled my salary; made friends that attended my wedding; and have mentors who I’ve called on throughout the years to help me navigate career decisions, introduce me to others in their network for opportunities, and negotiate compensation."
"One of my long term wishes as a Black woman committed to seeing Black men win in and out of the workplace, has been for Black men to have a space where their professional and psychological needs are centered - the THRIVE conference was that space. I was incredibly impressed with the seamless execution, value of the content and sessions, and the sense of warmth and camaraderie that was felt throughout. It truly felt like “family."
