What is TechTalk?
TechTalks are 30–40 minute live-recorded conversations filmed before a live audience. Each session features guest moderators from Cleveland's diverse technology landscape hosting panel discussions and interviews with senior executives, startup founders, civic leaders, creatives, researchers, and other visionaries.
These thought-leadership talks serve as conversation starters, raising awareness of significant developments in our community. Greyt Culture curates panels based on community input.
Interesting subject. Interesting people. Live audience. Recorded conversation. Continued media afterward. The conversation itself is the event.

May it improve the human experience.
The technology is rarely the most interesting thing in the room. What matters is what people are trying to do with it, what it changes, who it helps, and how it affects the way we live — and whether the result is useful, responsible, meaningful, or worth building at all.
Origin
Technology became a recurring topic of conversation among the artists and entrepreneurs gathering at Golden Hour. In 2022, Greyt Culture formalized those conversations into the TechTalk series.
TechTalk has since partnered with dozens of organizations and featured conversations with companies, startups, executives, founders, technologists, and other people shaping important developments in Cleveland and beyond.
