AfroTech Conference comes to Houston in brilliant meeting of innovative, diverse minds
This year, the Walt Disney Company returned to AfroTech as a sponsor. D'Yanna Craighead, Disney's senior manager of software engineering, is a speaker at the conference.
"A lot of people don't know that Disney is a tech company," Craighead said. "Behind the scenes, there is so much technology that goes into bringing that magic to life."
Disney is also sponsoring the attendance for 15 Prairie View A&M University and Texas Southern University students.
AfroTech runs November 13-16 at GRB.
