Get inspired about how we all can change the ratio of women and visible minorities working in the tech and sciences sectors. Real change has been slow. Finally in 2016 we have gender parity in our national government cabinet and leading technology companies have added Diversity Directors to their staff. But we can do more.

Waterloo Region can show the world how it’s done, how a community can come together and make a difference. Join us for this game changing event. Hear from a dynamic lineup of speakers, including:

  • Dinah Davis, director of R&D at Arctic Wolf Networks and founder of code.likeagirl.io
  • Karen Schulman Dupuis, most recently COO at Ellipsis Digital and strong advocate for gender equity, board member of Hive Waterloo Region
  • Mary Wells, ONWiE chair, Assoc. Dean of Outreach at University of Waterloo Engineering
  • Alice Thomas, Chief Digital Technology Officer, Sun Life Financial
  • Tony Brijpaul, co-founder, Miovision
  • Dinah Shi, Director, Women Who Code Waterloo
  • more to be announced…
