A Day of Focus, Fellowship, and Forward Momentum

Eritreans in Tech held a Boon & Build in Chicago, hosted at Mella Cafe and Bakery, that brought together community members for an evening of purposeful dialogue and collaboration. The event provided a structured setting where attendees shared experiences from their careers and personal journeys, while also identifying practical ways to support one another’s growth.

Professionals from a wide range of industries contributed perspectives that highlighted both opportunities and challenges within the diaspora community. Conversations were focused and forward-looking, emphasizing mentorship, knowledge transfer, and collaboration on projects that can create tangible impact.

The Chicago gathering underscored the importance of creating intentional spaces where Eritreans can exchange ideas, form partnerships, and strengthen professional networks.
