6:30pm - 7:30pm Panel: Diversity & Inclusion in Tech: What's Next?
Wednesday Mar 15
Description
The tech industry is becoming increasingly notorious for its lack of diverse workforce and inclusive culture. After 3 years of publicly measuring diversity goals, tech companies have hardly made a dent in the problem. Venture capital is not moving the needle much either. Still women, underrepresented minorities, people with disabilities, people who are LGBTQIA, veterans or over age 40 are left out and kept out of the growing tech economy. In some areas, the gaps are widening.
What can we do in the tech industry to drive change forward today? What is currently working, and how do we replicate those solutions? What radical change is needed in the Austin tech ecosystem, and across the country, to develop an inclusive industry?
