  Overview

  Austin Sustainability Professionals Earth Week Celebration For professionals building the Sustainability Econ

  Hello Austin Sustainability Professional!

  Please join us the very last celebration on the books for Earth Week! Our celebration is a celebration of you! You worked hard to bring awareness, joy and positivity to Earth Week and all of the people in your company and your extended community. Now, it's time to let your hair down, have a drink or two and chat it up with your friends and colleagues.

  We'v got a great celebration planned for you!

  We are tremendously happy to have Haveli Investments as our host for this auspicious occasion. Madeline Schell and Lucas Joppa are repping Haveli Investments at our event. Make sure you say hello when you see them.

  Our special cool non-profit situation is Goodwill. They will have their Circular Economy van parked out front to collect your "it's old to me but new to someone else" donations. Please, only clothing or Venmo donations, no books, housewares or various sundries. Kendall Forward will be on hand to talk about Goodwill's circularity and what's next for them.

  ​Useful AI? Clean Code? Yes, but without the right ecosystem, no one will see it.

  ​Join Blue People for an unfiltered talk with Kat Rector, an Austin-based strategic alliances expert who helps technical leaders turn their connections into real business impact. Kat has moved beyond traditional sales to redefine what networking means in the tech industry, and she’s here to share her strategic blueprints with us.

  ​Key points Kat will deconstruct:

  • ​From Transactional to Strategic: Why focusing on depth over quantity is the only way to scale in the long run.

  • ​Defining the Pillars: How to identify the domain experts and key connectors your project needs right now.

  • ​Building with Intention: The steps to show up consistently, lead with value, and build multi-channel visibility.

  • ​Don’t be the one who only reaches out when they need something: Learn to think in partnerships, not transactions.

  ​About Kat Rector: Kat is a strategic alliances leader who chairs industry conferences and specializes in helping technologists increase the visibility and reach of their technical work.

  The 3rd annual "Austin Tech Hall of Fame" and "First Time Founder Award" reception will be held on May 19th. This is part of an "eight year launch" to be able to add to the Hall of Fame all of the people who have contributed to Austin over many decades.

  The Hall of Fame is not just for entrepreneurs who founded companies that had success... but also the investors, advisors, mentors, and solution providers who allowed our tech scene in Central Texas to flourish.

  Each year the Austin Technology Council will open up nominations to the community (neither nominators nor those nominated need to be part of ATC). Decisions are made by a committee of independent community members and some ATC board members.

  This event was created to celebrate the past, be present in the NOW, and to look toward the future of the Austin tech ecosystem.

  Legacy/Foundational inductees will be announced soon.

  We hope that you will show up and be part of this special night.
