The Future Just Launched

MidwestCon 2025 is officially underway, taking place on September 10th and 11th.

But this isn’t just another tech event.

It’s a call to action.

We premiered the trailer in the community, with voices that have long pushed tech forward from the margins.

And after stepping off stage with Erin Reddick, founder of ChatBlackGPT (now an official MidwestCon partner), it became clear:

• The last century’s fight was for civil rights.

• This century’s fight for digital rights.

Who gets access?

Who gets left out?

Who gets to shape the system that shapes our lives?

ChatBlackGPT is more than a partner - it’s a mission-aligned movement.

And Erin Reddick will be joining us at MidwestCon 2025 as a featured speaker to ask:

• This year, we aren’t just observing the future.

• We‘re building it - and demanding that it serves all of us
