Session Overview
The tech industry has been male-dominated for decades, but the tide is turning. Women in tech are making strides toward equal representation and recognition in the field. Women are breaking down barriers and proving that gender should not be a factor in determining one’s ability to excel in technology.
France and the USA are two countries with significant tech sectors, but they have different approaches to achieving gender parity in this field. However, by studying each other’s approaches and sharing best practices, we can work towards a more equitable and inclusive tech industry worldwide.
The Why: With years of experience working in the industry and advocating for diversity and inclusivity, I have seen firsthand the benefits that come from achieving parity in tech. Through my talk, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of why this issue matters and what steps can be taken to promote greater equality in the workplace.
Key Takeaways:
- Achieving parity in tech not only promotes fairness and equality, but also leads to better business outcomes and innovation, leading to greater creativity and problem solving.
- Achieving parity in tech requires a commitment to change. Through education and awareness initiatives, organizations can create a more inclusive culture and empower their employees to be advocates for change.
- Despite their different approaches, both France and The USA can learn from each other’s successes and challenges.
