TRENDS IN TECHNOLOGY 2022
Trends in Technology is a NAMIC tentpole event where industry leaders discuss how transformative technologies will disrupt our current way of doing business. These disruptions allow us to streamline our processes that are key to successfully running our business models.

Last year Detavio Samuels, Richard Cox, and Sanjay Srivastava explored how Virtual Reality will reshape entertainment, gaming, distance learning, and more! They also addressed how Cybersecurity can cripple an individual, company, or even a country. They explored how AI and Cloud Computing can push us forward logically and efficiently. Technology is continually reshaping the corporate landscape – NAMIC’s Trends In Technology talks about it all!
This year we are excited to announce a partnership with YouTube to host NAMIC’s 4th annual Trends In Technology event. We’ll be discussing trends in content creation, advertising, investing, and more. This exciting event will be held at Google’s theatre in the heart of Atlanta. On the heels of Georgia being named the “new tech hub,” we are especially excited to kick off National Diversity Week with the Trends in Technology after party event at Google’s NEW office’s rooftop at 1105 W.
