It’s time to speak up. The Intel Developer Forum is taking over the Moscone Center in downtown San Francisco and Hack Harassment will be there in full force! We’re excited to bring our message once again to the developer audience after the warm welcome we received at DockerCon last month. Are you headed to the city by the bay? Hack Harassment has a few things taking place and we want you to get involved! Find out why saying nothing says everything.

Drop by the #HackHarassment Booth! You can sign the pledge and chat with us 1-on-1 about what we’re doing to make the internet more inclusive. Find out how you can make a difference.
