Get Connected Dallas started with an idea: how do we celebrate the ways that technology impacts our life, what the future holds, experience new careers and connect with resources?

In a partnership between the Dallas Innovation Alliance and CARDBoard Project, Get Connected Dallas began in 2023 with our first festival at South Oak Cliff High School, where we welcomed the community to experience entertainment, resource fair, on-the-spot job opportunities, robot and digital skills workshops and great local food.

In 2024, we held our second event in partnership with For Oak Cliff, and went even bigger, launching our Robot Petting Zoo, beatmaking workshops, fair rides, and the digital art competition in partnership with the City of Dallas Arts & Culture and Office of Community Care. We can’t wait to show you what’s in store for 2025!
