Supported by GMF, the first edition of Silicon Allee’s new event series UNPLUGGED will host Mitch Landrieu as guest speaker. He has been a prominent figure in American politics for his leadership in New Orleans’ historic recovery after Hurricane Katrina, and recently for his decision to remove confederate statues from public spaces in New Orleans. At UNPLUGGED – Episode I, Mitch Landrieu and Travis Todd will discuss the importance of building a strong neighborhood community with an emphasis on cultural inclusivity, and how economic and technological change have influenced New Orleans’ progression during his time as mayor.

With UNPLUGGED, Silicon Allee brings you inspirational rebels, visionaries and change makers disrupting not only tech and business, but politics and the social sectors as well. Join and listen to the untold stories of a diverse set of global leaders sharing lessons from the present, recalling stories from the past, and their views on the future.

We will begin the evening with a Jazz band and light snacks at 6:00 p.m.. The conversation will then start at 6:30 p.m. followed by more live music, drinks, and networking.
