Piʻikū Co. Alumni Panel – Tech but Build it Local

Join us for an alumni panel during Hawaii Tech Week, where we sit down with Piʻikū Co. alumni who are now working across tech in engineering, design, operations, and beyond to talk about what the work actually looks like.

We'll be covering three conversations:

Building local — What does it mean to build technology in Hawaii, for Hawaii? What values shape those decisions?

AI in the room — How are local tech workers actually thinking about and using AI tools? Spicy takes are welcome.

The path here — How did the Piʻikū Co. program help them get to where they are, and what do they wish they'd known earlier?

This event is for people working in tech, people trying to break into it, and anyone curious about what a local tech ecosystem could look like.
