The technology world is often seen as "innovative," "dynamic" & "disruptive."But even in an industry that prides itself on innovation, women still struggle to break in & advance -- & companies struggle with mentorship, sponsorship & inclusion.
What are the challenges to promoting female diversity & inclusion in the technology industry? How can companies improve mentorship & sponsorship of talented women executives? How do we move past discussion & toward solutions?
Please join the Frankfurt Kurnit Diversity Committee for an evening of cocktails & conversation as we take a candid look at this issue from the perspective of women leaders in the technology industry.
Topics Include:
How technology companies identify talent
Hiring initiatives that have succeeded
Creating a work environment where women can thrive
Overcoming unconscious bias in the workplace
Breaking into pre-established social networks
Discrimination in hiring & other legal risks
And much more
