Earlier this season, Develop for Good served as a presenting Nonprofit Partner at ZCON, powered by United Talent Agency—the first conference by Gen Z with all Gen Z speakers 🧡

The event sparked powerful conversations on diversity, accessibility, and what it truly means to have a seat at the table, featuring voices like Auli’i Cravalho, Chandler Kinney, Anthony Po, and Paralympic champion Ezra Frech, alongside brand partners Coach, E.L.F. BEAUTY., and Spotify.

Develop for Good leaders Kiki Liu and Mary Zhu hosted a volunteer breakout session where attendees took on a fast-paced challenge to nominate nonprofits for our Gen Z volunteer tech force to support with custom software projects. Congratulations to Lana Ivory 🦋 and Shannon Rusbuldt Amar for emerging as the winners!

We’re deeply grateful to Faith Andrews-O’Neal, Maia Ervin, Reana Johnson, Ziad Ahmed, and Shaina Zafar from United Talent Agency for inviting us to be part of this first-of-its-kind gathering, and for creating space where Gen Z leadership and impact can thrive ✨
