'Lesbians Who Tech' Pride Summit

[amberlyrose]

'Lesbians Who Tech' is hosting a free Pride Summit next week and there are some really amazing sessions that might interest many of you here, so thought I'd share. It is open to allies and other industries but most sessions will focus on the queer community in the technology space. Day One is focused on BLM, intersectionality, and healing sessions. Stacy Abrams, Kamala Harris, Valerie Jarrett, Nancy Pelosi, and Elizabeth Warren are all speakers throughout the summit.

If you are a manager or leader within your organization, there are some sessions on creating a better workplace, recognizing bias in hiring, and advocating for change in your organization.

Thank you for sharing! I'm going to attend several of the sessions and I'm passing it on to my sister, who is a lesbian in tech.

I have a t-shirt from them! It says "lesbians who tech: queer, inclusive, badass". I get the most comments on that shirt (all positive).

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for posting this!
I've registered, and I'm really looking forward to this. Unless I have meetings that get in the way, I should be able to work and listen at the same time

I’m going to have to pass this along to my GD1. I assume non-binary will also be welcome.

Thank you for posting this! One of my coworkers is starting up a podcast with women in tech, and I passed along the conference info because there are some great potential guests on their speaker list.

Awesome! I thought about tagging you directly on FB since I know this is within your line of work. Glad you saw it here, though.

Yep, there are a bunch of very familiar companies on there. Really good session line-up. Way more substantive than most of the "women in tech" stuff at your run-of-the-mill tech conference, for sure.

I was having that same problem. Eventually I saw a link that said "watch here if the stream is not available":

Is it running on time?  I am trying to watch the session that was supposed to start 6 minutes ago, and I am just getting conference sponsors and background music.

ETA:  NM, now there is a message saying it sill start soon.
ETA #2:  and now it started and I have no volume despite the background music working fine.

They def had some technical issues today. Hope it’s resolved for tomorrow’s sessions.
