Techdirt Podcast Episode 286: How GirlCon Is Fighting To Empower Women In Tech
from the the-next-generation dept
It’s no secret that the tech industry has lost much of the diversity that was present in its early days and grown into a male-dominated field rife with sexism and gender disparity. Today, many people are work to change this — and one such effort is the GirlCon, which is holding its fourth annual conference for women in tech from June 27th to 30th this year. On this week’s episode, we’re joined by GirlCon co-founder Kyla Guru and co-director Vidya Bharadwaj to discuss this year’s event and the ongoing fight to empower the next generation of women in tech.
