Presentation

In this session, we'll discuss how equity, inclusion, and diversity affect product design and introduce four strategies for building more inclusive products.

About our presenter: Abby Allen is a Product Manager at Dispatch, a Bloomington-based start-up that provides on-demand courier services and SaaS solutions for managing your delivery operations. She made the switch from software engineer to product about 10 years ago when she realized she'd rather track down requirements than track down bugs. Since then, she's been a fearless user advocate at several Minneapolis start-ups. You can find Abby on LinkedIn and Medium.

Introductions

Introductions will be done in a small group, breakout room format. Each person will be asked to briefly introduce themselves and share an experience with something that's currently challenging them.

After 10 minutes, we'll break from our groups and move on to presentations.

I'm an experienced developer. Can I be a mentor?

Absolutely! Our members would love your mentorship, but space at our events is limited. If you're interested in mentoring or advising the folks in our community, please email us so we can coordinate the best way to facilitate that.

Where can I get more information?

Lots of ways! We've got a website, a Slack group, and will be sending out emails to announce future events. But for now, just email us and we'll point you in the right direction.
