Welcome

Step In and Join the Conversation

The Technology Salon is an intimate, informal, and in person, discussion between information and communication technology experts and international development professionals, with a focus on both:

  • technology's impact on donor-sponsored technical assistance delivery, and
  • private enterprise driven economic development, facilitated by technology.

Our meetings are lively conversations, not boring presentations - PowerPoint is banned and attendance is capped at 15 people - and frank participation with ideas, opinions, and predictions is actively encouraged through our key attributes.

The Technology Salon is sponsored by the UN Foundation's Technology Partnership with the Vodafone Foundation as a way to increase the discussion and dissemination of information and communication technology's role in expanding solutions to long-standing international development challenges.
