About The Event

Let's Reconnect is an event series taking place – virtually – across 8 cities in North America. After two years of not being able to come together, we're opening an opportunity to connect developers within their own community and region and to give them the tools to learn, teach, lead, and to then make plans to meet again.

We're welcoming keynote guest speaker Noelle Silver Russell, Founder & Principal Architect of AI Leadership Institute to speak on responsible applied AI with Google ML Kit. Plus, we're opening the event to other groups within each community to talk about how diversity and inclusion are more important than ever, and how current opportunities exist for new GDG Organizers and how to attain the position.
