EVENT DETAILS
Team diversity refers to differences between members of startup team. Those differences can include demographic differences (like age, race, sex, & ethnicity), personality (extrovert, introvert, & differing Myers-Briggs types), & functional (as in skill sets, like engineering, design, copywriting, & marketing).

How does team diversity impact your customers' experience from the moment they learn about you through their journey with you?
You will attract & relate to customers who look like you. They will understand your messaging & you will understand their needs. If you don't represent the right dimensions of diversity, you are leaving an amazing experience behind.

Schedule will be:
- 40 minutes: Talk
- 20 minutes: Q&A

Speaker:
