Tech Hours are a series of 3-4 open forum workshops and talks hosted by the Recovery Hub every spring. These discussions are meant to engage with topics related to digital recovery and ethics, offer project development tips, or share technical skills to increase interest in digital recovery projects broadly. Tech Hours expand access to the skills necessary to pursue digital recovery, and create a continual opportunity for networking within our larger community.
Each year’s series focuses on a new theme and invites participants to sign up for the entire 3-4 session run, although participants are also welcome to attend just the sessions they find most interesting. These sessions are open to recovery practitioners at any level – all are welcome!
