Supporting Black professionals in tech and business is very important to us here at Vena.

This year, 20,000+ tech and business professionals are expected to come together to grow their skills, expand their network and level up their careers.
“We support BPTN’s mission of helping Black professionals worldwide be seen, connected and empowered with career growth opportunities,” said Shada McShannon, Director, People Partners & DEI at Vena. “As we witnessed last year, their annual BFUTR Summit successfully connects Black technology professionals from around the world with senior executives, speakers, leaders and hiring companies.”

However, there is still far to go in breaking through barriers, removing obstacles, addressing inequalities and facing the cultural biases that continue to challenge Black professionals in these industries.”
