Women In Tech: Where Are They?
This talk examines women, or the lack of, in technology, why women make up such a small percentage of the technology field, and how we can improve this.
Recent research shows that women are leaving the technology field at alarming rates. Even with more women entering the pipeline, the amount of women in the technology field has not increased. This talk dives into the research that suggests why this is and likely contributing factors.
As well as, how we can improve the presence of women in technology and management roles. From hiring practices, to culture implementation, and promotion considerations, this talk provides ways for companies to improve their outcomes in hiring, retaining, and advancing women’s presence in technology to advance us all.
