Last year, Nextplay launched to build the largest community of professionals of color, accelerate career advancement, create unprecedented access to job opportunities and promote authentic Black & Latino culture in tech.
A year later we've hosted the Vice President of Nigeria, expanded the community to 3000+ members, produced 11 events that yielded double digit hires, and partnered with 17+ top tech companies that include Microsoft, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Airbnb, Pinterest etc.
Join us on Nov 8 to celebrate our one year anniversary. The evening will include networking with Recruiters from LinkedIn & Twitter, lightning talks, dance theme performances, visual art and food/drinks from authentic community vendors.
