Hear Me Out: Tech Edition

the powerpoint night for what you actually think.

Wed Nov 4 · 6:00pm to 9:00pm
The Mood Room
711 Milby St (inside Ironworks Marketplace), Houston, TX 77003

Hear Me Out: Tech Edition is a PowerPoint night timed to Houston's biggest week in tech. Grab the mic and give a 5-minute "hear me out" presentation on the Black experience in tech: dating as a tech person, the career take you'd never put in a LinkedIn post, the industry absurdity everyone is thinking and nobody is saying. Not actual technology or gadgets. Just your opinion, your slides, and a room that reacts.

Not presenting? Come watch, react, and vote for your favorite.

The details

  • Doors at 6:00pm, presentations start at 6:30pm
  • Up to 12 presenters, 5 minutes each
  • Every ticket includes your first drink
  • Voting, a winner, and a social hour after the presentations

Presenter + a Friend: $35. Got a take? One ticket covers you and the friend you bring, with a drink for each of you. We'll email you a link to send in your slides, due Monday, November 2. Only 12 presenter spots.

Viewer: $20. Come watch, cast your vote, enjoy your first drink on us, and stay for the social.

No tech background needed to come or to present.

The Vibe

    Before you go
    Do I have to present?

    No. Come watch, laugh, and vote — presenting is optional.

    What if I don't work in tech?

    Doesn't matter. This isn't about actual technology — it's personal takes, career stories, and opinions.

    How do I sign up to present?

    We'll send out a sign-up form closer to the date for anyone who wants to present — keep an eye on your email and the WhatsApp for the link.
