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.

Celebrate Data Privacy Week 2025 with 4THBIN: Take Control of Your Data

Data Privacy Week 2025 is here, and it’s the perfect time to think about how we manage our data, both online and offline. The theme this year, "Take Control of Your Data," emphasizes the importance of understanding the value of the data we create every day. From browsing habits to health data tracked by apps, our personal information is constantly being collected. This data is valuable to companies, but the good news is you have the power to control how it’s used. At 4THBIN, we believe data privacy should be a priority not just for individuals, but for businesses as well - and it extends beyond the digital world to your old electronics.
