As we approach a transition in U.S. leadership, the political landscape remains highly dynamic. Both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump present contrasting visions for immigration policy, and these policies will have significant ramifications for the tech sector, which thrives on international talent.

Join us on Monday, October 28, 6:00pm, for an insightful session where we’ll explore the key immigration policies likely to emerge under either a Harris or Trump administration. We'll discuss how these potential changes could impact tech companies, startups, and foreign workers—and offer proactive steps that organizations can take to prepare for what’s on the horizon.

This is a must-attend event for anyone in the tech community who wants to stay ahead of policy changes that will shape the future of our industry. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and actionable strategies.
