CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap Film Screening and Q&A

“The first step of solving any problem is not to hide from it. The first step to any form of action is awareness.” - Mellody Hobson

Hello Friends — Please join us for a night of real discussion, as we explore the film CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap, which exposes the lack of female and minority representation in software engineering, and the reasons for this gap, as well as highlighting breakthrough efforts that are producing more diverse programmers. After the film, we will hear from a panel of tech leaders for Q&A, including Yvette Pasqua (http://blog.meetup.com/meetup-welcomes-new-cto-yvette-pasqua/), CTO of Meetup, Neil Wilks (https://www.linkedin.com/in/neil-wilks-4293271), Director of People Partners at SoundCloud, Elena Washington (http://www.elenawashington.com/), Site Reliability Engineer at Greenhouse, and Matthew Rechs (https://twitter.com/mrechs), General Manager for Adobe Type and Typekit.

CODE asks: what would society gain from having more women and minorities code and how do we get there? View the trailer here (http://www.codedoc.co/about/). If you want to be part of this discussion, hear how this impacts tech today, and what others are doing to make a change, please RSVP your seat on our Meetup page! We encourage you to bring a colleague, friend or ally.

Food and beverages will be served.
