New York Tech Club Relaunch
The New York Tech Club is back! The Tech Club in NYC was one of NTEN's longest-running groups until the pandemic, when all groups across the network paused operations. Now, we are thrilled to have it relaunching.
NTEN’s Tech Clubs are local gathering spaces for people putting technology to work for missions and movements. Whether you work at a nonprofit, a foundation, or a community group, or you build the tools and provide the services those groups rely on, this is a room worth being in.
Two ways to join us.
Virtual meetup
On Thursday, September 24, 1-2 pm ET, we’ll cover what topics future events should focus on — AI, security, open source, the future of the web, and whatever else the group wants to take on. You can suggest topics, nominate presenters, or volunteer to help organize.
The Closing Social, co-hosted by NTEN and TIDEL
On Friday, October 2, we're co-hosting The Closing Social with the TIDEL Symposium. It closes out the 2026 TIDEL Conference, and it’s our first in-person gathering as a relaunched club.

The evening brings TIDEL attendees together with the local NTEN community — technologists, nonprofit staff, scholars, clergy, entrepreneurs, artists, and city leaders working where faith, ethics, technology, and public life meet. Expect hors d’oeuvres, familiar faces, some new ones, and plenty of ideas to trade.
If you want to make a full day out of it, check out the TIDEL Summit as well — a convening that brings together scholars, faith leaders, technologists, nonprofit practitioners, and public leaders to explore ethical, justice-centered, and collaborative approaches to technology, innovation, and digital engagement. Use discount code TIDEL20 when you register, and you might see a familiar face on the keynote speaker list!
