Tech Communities are missing women’s voices. We see it at tech conferences and meetups almost everywhere.
While we celebrate women who’ve “made it” and their visibility is vital, survivorship bias hides a crucial truth: up to half leave tech by age 35, we leave at a higher rate than men, and many never even join.
This talk exposes our own bias as women survivors in tech. The success stories of women around us overshadow the struggles of those who’ve fallen away, leading to misguided initiatives and hindering true inclusion. There is a dire need to identify and address these issues and implement successful initiatives to make our communities more diverse.
This session will give you a deeper understanding of the problem and tangible ways to drive change in your circles. Be part of the solution for genuinely inclusive tech communities!
This talk was delivered at International Women’s Day 2025 in Barcelona.
