The Blacks In Technology Foundation (BIT) is excited to announce a
special benefit concert featuring acclaimed rapper T.I. The event
will take place on Friday, September 6, at the historic Tabernacle
in Atlanta, GA. Doors open at 7:00 PM.
T.I., a Grammy Award-winning artist and Atlanta native, is set
to deliver an unforgettable performance in support of BIT’s mission
to increase the representation and participation of Black people in
technology. Known for his chart-topping hits and charismatic stage
presence, T.I. is a powerful advocate for social justice and
community empowerment, making him a perfect fit for this impactful
event.
The benefit concert aims to raise funds and awareness for BIT’s
numerous initiatives, including educational programs, mentorship
opportunities, and networking events designed to foster a
supportive and thriving community for Black technologists.
Attendees will not only enjoy a night of incredible music but also
contribute to a cause that promotes diversity, equity, and
inclusion in the tech industry.
“We are thrilled to have T.I. headline our benefit concert,”
said Dennis Schultz, Executive Director of the Blacks In Technology
Foundation. “His commitment to community and advocacy aligns
perfectly with our goals, and we are grateful for his support in
helping us drive change and create opportunities for Black
professionals in technology.”
“I appreciate Blacks In Technology for allowing me to champion
their cause,” says T.I. “ I'm passionate about uplifting the Black
community and BIT is doing important work to bridge the racial
wealth gap through providing a pathway to high paying jobs in tech.
I'm happy to lend my platform to support this cause.”
To amplify the cause, Atlanta’s V-103 (WVEE-FM) will be
broadcasting live from Tabernacle the night of the concert. The
benefit concert closes out a week of activities and events
surrounding BITCON, the annual Blacks In Technology Conference
sponsored by Microsoft held at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis Sept.
4-6 which will bring thousands of tech professionals to Atlanta.
Other events include the Labor Day Atlanta Street Food Festival
& Bazaar and a multitude of networking events throughout the
city.
