Thin Edge Consulting, with support from Black Box Productions, Technori, Grey Journal, The Founder Institute, and Hershman Cohen LLC is hosting a first-of-its-kind tech event to celebrate technology for social good Sept. 12 at the Merchandise Mart. With the ubiquity of technology in our digital age, a lot of discussion centers around on the harm that can result from this massive change.
