Encouraging and Honoring Diversity in your Technical Teams

Details

UPDATE: This is now a joint event of the South Florida Test Automation Meetup and Women Who Test South Florida!

Is your team diverse? Most people would say “YES” right away, but really take a look around and evaluate the level of inclusion on your team and within your company. In this collaborative session, led by Jennifer Bonine - the CEO and founder of The PinkLion Company –she will discuss why keeping your tech teams diverse is crucial to their success. Jennifer will give real world examples of programs that are already making huge strides and successes in ensuring that there is diversity in technology. As the first female entrepreneur in the AI space, she will be able to demonstrate how teams can make small changes to start a paradigm shift that will ensure your teams are producing products that are representative of the diverse world we live in. As tech imbues the economy, the industry needs to inspire in regards to diversity and inclusion.
