The Technology Salon is open to experienced ICT and international development experts who are interested in a intimate, informal, and in person discussion at the intersection of technology and development.

To promote open and frank discussions, Technology Salon employs the Chatham House Rule - what is said in its discussions can only be attributed to the Salon itself, not to any specific participant. So be prepared to speak your mind.

Our meetings are held at either the UN Foundation headquarters in Washington, DC, or the Inveneo offices in San Francisco, typically on a Thursday morning.

RSVP REQUIRED

While the meetings are open, attendance is capped at 15 people and the UN Foundation offices are in a secure building, so you you must RSVP to Wayan to attend. No exceptions.
