  For over 20 years the Austin Technology Council has hosted a party for our local tech community in the days before the world comes to Austin for SXSW.

  This is a "Good Old Fashioned High Tech Happy Hour".... the kind that got everything started in Austin in the 1990s.

  Last year was the biggest one EVER. And this year we want to pack the place again.

  It was said last year "This is the one event where you see old time Austin tech and new comers (and everyone in between) coming together to celebrate the Austin Tech Ecosystem.

  While out of town techies are always welcome, this party is purposely held before the crowds arrive to bring the focus on people who come from all areas of our tech ecosystem.

  
  

  ****This year we will also have the CEO's of about 20 other Technology Councils, as the Technology Council's of North America organization is having their annual CEO Summit in Austin March 9-11. Thus we have invited them all to come see Austin Tech in our natural environment.

  AGENDA

  ​7:15 - 8:30 p.m. Discussion

  EVENT SUMMARY

  Why do the digital platforms we once loved eventually turn against us? In his 2025 book, Enshittification, Cory Doctorow explores the seemingly inevitable lifecycle of modern tech giants: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to favor their business customers; finally, they abuse those customers to claw back all the value for themselves before eventually dying.

  Join the Austin Forum for a provocative online book discussion on this critical framework for understanding the modern web. We will move beyond the cynicism to discuss the technical and policy "antidotes" that Doctorow proposes to keep the internet free, fair, and functional.

  Our discussion will focus on the role of the technologist in resisting platform decay:

  • The Lifecycle of a Platform: Understanding the economic and technical incentives that drive companies toward "enshittification" and how to identify the warning signs early.

  • Adversarial Interoperability: Discussing the technical right to build tools that plug into existing platforms—even without their permission—as a way to return power to the users.

  • Building for Longevity: How technologists can design systems that are "anti-enshittification" by default, focusing on decentralized protocols, data portability, and user-centric architecture.

  • The Austin Tech Response: How our local startup and development community can build the next generation of "honest" platforms that resist the urge to capture and exploit their user base.

  Whether you are a platform strategist, a software architect or developer, or a concerned digital citizen, join us to discuss how we can save the internet from its own worst impulses.
