Travel bans. Potential H1-B visa changes. Sanctuary city legislation. Enforcement crackdowns.
The immigration policy landscape has shifted enormously over a short period of time.

On April 12, join fellow innovators and entrepreneurs to hear from Austin City Council Member Greg Casar and a panel of policy experts. Learn more about state and local immigration challenges, how new federal policies affect the Austin tech sector, and what you can do to make your voice heard.
