As tech companies throughout Portland turn their attention towards our post-pandemic world, one thing is clear: for people with disabilities in the workforce, we cannot go back to the way things were before.
In Oregon, 1 in 4 people comprising 31.8% of the local workforce lives with a disability. Still, the barriers for people with disabilities when it comes to hiring, workplace disclosure and accommodations — and thriving within the often-neurotypical cultures of the tech industry — create a challenging landscape to navigate upward growth and mobility.
Join PDXWIT and host Momentive for a panel discussion moderated and led by people living with disabilities in Portland as they provide education, share their experiences, and make recommendations for how tech can become more accessible.
Moderator:
Katie Jahangiri (she/her) - Development Director
Panelists:
Catherine Cambridge (she/her) - Manager of Legal Operations
Miki Demeter (she/her) - Security Researcher
Mark Espina (he/him) - Jr Database Developer
We will have ASL interpretation and live closed captioning throughout.
Our events are inclusive. ALL people who support our mission are welcome.
Purpose:
We are building a better tech industry by creating access, dismantling inequities and fueling belonging. |
