Panel Discussion: Careers in Technology Policy

Wednesday, October 22, 2025
11:30 am - 1:00 pm PDT

Co-sponsored by the UC Berkeley School of Information and the Goldman School of Public Policy

Technology policy is a rapidly changing field that tackles big questions, from digital inclusion to data privacy to civil liberties. This is a unique opportunity for students to hear directly from industry leaders and former government practitioners on how to join this dynamic, high-impact field. Several Executive Fellows in Applied Technology Policy and GSPP Tech Policy Fellows will share how they broke into the field, what their day-to-day work looks like, and what skills are currently in demand. 

Whether you're exploring your options or already committed to a tech policy path, this panel will offer valuable insights and practical advice to help shape your journey.

If you’re attending in-person, stick around in the same room afterwards for a viewing of the Strengthening Disability-Inclusive Technology Policymaking webinar.

Lunch will be provided for in-person attendees who register by October 15.
