The National BDPA Conference and Career Fair

BDPACON25 transcends our community’s definitions of traditional technology conventions with expansive career expos. It is a very intimate industrial reunion and nexus of new ideas powered by tech industry’s celebrations of BDPA’s remarkable 50-year milestone. For our attendees this year, a very distinctive reception with BDPA Alumni and Industry Executives will commence at the Mimms Museum of Technology and Art, previously known as the Computer Museum of America. This museum features some of the most significant devices and high-performance computing platforms in history. An impactful BDPACON25 is immersive and signifies half a century of PACEsetting innovation and empowerment. BDPA continues to provide robust springboards to our next generation for their post-quantum era futures. We cordially welcome BDPA Members, Sponsors, Partners, and BDPACON25 attendees to reconnect with leading minds in our tech industry, to honor the legacy of Black excellence in computing, and to honor those defining greater trajectories for the next 50 years.
