LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AI<\/a>–Hack\/Reduce, a Boston-based non-profit organization focused on creating talent and technology for the global big data-driven economy, today announced details of its first international event by launching Tech Tackles Cancer London<\/a> (TTC London).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe inaugural global event will be held on May 24, 2023, at the popular Omeara nightclub near London Bridge and will see UK and US technology leaders battle it out on stage through live music performances backed by a professional band.<\/p>\n

\nTech Tackles Cancer\u2019s mission is to leverage the power of the technology industry to raise awareness and funds for pediatric cancer research and family\/patient services. In its 9th<\/sup> year in existence, TTC has raised approximately $3 million to date for organizations that support pediatric cancer-related programs. Partnering with local charity organizations, TTC will organize events in both London and Boston in 2023.<\/p>\n

\nTTC London 2023 will benefit Children with Cancer UK<\/a>, one of the leading childhood cancer charities in the UK, with a vision of a world where every child survives cancer. All of the money raised through sponsorship and fundraising efforts will go directly to Children with Cancer UK to fund life-saving research and support children and their families through treatment and beyond.<\/p>\n

\nJo Elvin, CEO at Children with Cancer UK said: \u201cWe are thrilled to be partnering with Tech Tackles Cancer and appreciate the opportunity to connect directly with the London technology community. This incredible event will raise essential funds for life-saving research and help us to continue supporting families affected by childhood cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nTTC events feature technology executives who have agreed to raise money in advance of them singing one song, on stage, backed by a live band. Featured performers are actively fundraising while working their setlists. The star-studded lineup will be certain to rival that of the Glastonbury Festival. Hosting the evening’s festivities is well-known Virgin Radio broadcaster and host, the UK\u2019s very own Rich Williams<\/a>. 2022 musical performances can be viewed on the TTC YouTube Channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n
