4THBIN is proud to spotlight our partnership with Macktez as their Tête à Tech event series returns for its third year. Known for bringing together innovative thinkers across technology, science, business, and the arts, this thoughtfully curated series creates space for meaningful dialogue and fresh perspective in an intimate setting.

As part of our ongoing collaboration, we are excited to offer members of the 4THBIN community a complimentary ticket to attend these conversations. In addition, attendees will receive 10% off their next pickup with 4THBIN, making it easier than ever to stay connected while prioritizing secure and responsible technology practices.

Hosted at Macktez’s East Village office, each event features Macktez CEO and Founder Noah Landow in conversation with a distinguished guest. Together, they explore the “why” behind today’s most important ideas before opening the discussion to the room over drinks and snacks. The result is an engaging and often surprising experience designed to spark curiosity and connection.

With several events still ahead this season, there are multiple opportunities to join the conversation.

The conversation will also touch on intellectual property, bioethics, and the evolving relationship between biology, technology, and capitalism.

April 23 — The Jagged Frontier of Machine Learning: Astonishingly Capable but Surprisingly Brittle

Why can generative AI produce complex code or poetry in seconds yet struggle with basic logic? Noah is joined by Samer Sabri, Software Engineer at Google, for a deep dive designed for broad audiences into the contradictions that may reveal a deeper structure behind machine intelligence.

May 7 — Art and Money Need Not Be Strange Bedfellows

Ruby Lerner, Founder of Creative Capital, is widely recognized for reshaping arts philanthropy by building sustainable career paths for creators. In this conversation, she and Noah will discuss what it truly takes for art to thrive in the modern era.

May 21 — Simulation, Estimation, and the Built World: Redefining Construction in an Age of AI

Ian Veidenheimer, Founder of fab.venture, joins Noah to explore the strategic role of artificial intelligence in architecture and construction. Moving beyond familiar ideas of automation, the discussion will highlight more advanced applications shaping the future of the built environment.


Each Tête à Tech event is an opportunity to explore cultural, scientific, historical, and personal topics while drawing connections across disciplines. The welcoming environment encourages conversations that are casual yet illuminating, offering attendees the chance to engage directly with thought leaders and peers alike.

The Growing E-Waste Challenge and How 4THBIN Can Help

As technology continues to evolve, so does the amount of outdated equipment businesses must manage. In 2022 alone, the world generated more than 62 million metric tonnes of electronic waste, much of which still goes unrecycled or improperly handled. For many organizations, managing retired devices often falls to the bottom of the priority list. But as these devices stack up in storage closets or are discarded through unofficial channels, they quietly create risks to both data security and the environment.
