Speaker for Thursday March 24
Rena Youngblood- Exec Director Computer Museum of America

Preserve, Educate, Empower


Welcome Rena Youngblood, Executive Director Computer Museum of America


In the past half century, computing has grown from a few gadgets to an almost universal extension of human life. Yet while computing has become commonplace, the history of its innovation is being lost every day, as ‘old’ technology is discarded, recycled or consigned to the landfill. The Computer Museum of America (CMoA), located in a suburb of Atlanta, GA, was created to preserve this history, and educate visitors on the past and future of computing, empowering the innovators of tomorrow. 

PRESERVE, EDUCATE, EMPOWER

 About Our Speaker
