In alignment with the TechTown PDX Diversity Pledge, we too believe it is necessary to do more than just talking about the need for a more diverse tech sector. As tech professionals, we think collective action and accountability are required to address the underrepresentation of women, LGBTQ+, and people of color in our industry.
Sponsored by Thinkful, the #1 coding boot camp in America by Course Report, join panelists from Chick Tech, Free Geek, Out in Tech, Lesbians Who Tech, WeWork and more for a discussion on how some organizations are continuously working to empower diversity and digital inclusion in our community.
Panelists:
Justin Hulog - Out in Tech, Portland Chapter Founder
Sara Rasmussen - Free Geek, Digital Inclusion Manager
Janel Hull - ChickTech, Community Manager
Heather Knight - Lesbians Who Tech, Portland Chapter Representative
Marianne Moyer - WeWork, Community Manager
Moderator:
Emma Holland - Thinkful, Community Manager
