Description

In alignment with the TechTown PDX Diversity Pledge, we too believe it is necessary to do more to support and shape a more diverse tech sector. As tech professionals, we think collective action and accountability are required to address the underrepresentation of women, LGBTQ+, and people of color in our industry.

Sponsored by Thinkful, the #1 coding boot camp in America by Course Report, join panelists from Chick Tech, Free Geek, Out in Tech, Lesbians Who Tech, and more for a discussion on how some organizations are continuously working to empower diversity and digital inclusion in our community.

Justin Hulog - Out in Tech, Portland Chapter Founder

Sara Rasmussen - Free Geek, Digital Inclusion Manager

Janel Hull - ChickTech, Community Manager

Patricia "Posey" Posey - Women Who Code, Community Engagement Manager

Heather Knight - Lesbians Who Tech, Portland Chapter Representative

Kellie O'Donnell - Salesforce, Principal Escalation Manager

Jeremy Roberts - Janrain, Sales Development

Gabrielle Blackwell - Cloudability, Business Development Manager


Moderator:

Emma Holland - Thinkful, Community Manager
