About Platform Summit The idea of Platform Summit is for its message/content to reach millions of people (students, teachers, parents, business, academic, political and civic leaders), and spark a national dialogue about the critical importance of entrepreneurial diversity in technology. This annual event and media property is focused on building a highly impactful “platform” for diversifying the innovation economy. Last year’s inaugural event (2013) convened at the MIT Media Lab, and gathered a select group of C-Suite decision makers, corporate social responsibility officers, and media, political and civic influencers who are committed to addressing growth and sustainability for women and people of color in technology & innovation. Speakers/Supporters included Gen. Colin Powell, Qunicy Jones, Deval Patrick, Christy Haubegger and others. Platform.org Platform Summit 2014 Platform Summit 2014 presented by Credit Suisse will take place at Morehouse College and Georgia Tech. This epic conference will again convene influencers, luminaries and technology powerbrokers to connect and share ideas and build new relationships. The 2 ½ day event will include 30 powerful and provocative speakers. In order to facilitate meaningful conversations amongst speakers and attendees breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided and the evening receptions are sponsored by HBO and Google for Entrepreneurs.
