A Day of Focus, Fellowship, and Forward Momentum

Eritreans in Tech brought Boon & Build to Houston with a special pop-up event at KOYA Restaurant and Lounge, teaming up with ERI.GYALZ and Explore with Selam and Senai for an evening centered on connection, community, and good energy. The gathering blended Houston’s vibrant atmosphere with the signature Boon & Build format, giving attendees a chance to meet new people, share experiences, and learn about one another’s journeys.

Fun ice breakers helped spark conversations among professionals, students, and creatives, making it easy for everyone to engage and feel included. There were custom drinks crafted for the event and a relaxed environment that encouraged people to stay, talk, and enjoy the night. By the end of the evening, guests had formed new connections, strengthened community ties, and contributed to a memorable Houston experience.
