Women In Technology -  Bringing women back to the center of our economy

If nothing is done to change the current trends, young women will lose the race for the high-value, high-productivity jobs at the heart of the digital economy.   

Why we need more women in Tech:

• Diversity of thought leads to better problem-solving.  Collaborating with individuals of different genders, sexual orientations, ethnicities, and race leads to increased innovation and enhanced problem-solving
•  More women in corporate leadership roles lead to increased revenue.   In a survey published in a Peterson Institute for International Economics working paper of 22,000 firms globally, researchers found that gender diversity is indeed profitable for companies  
• The ability to tap into the largest single economic force in the world: American women.  According to a survey by Catalyst, women control around 73 percent of all household spending in the U.S.

Thanks to a generous donation from Sara Cooper, a professional comedian, speaker, and bestselling author-the first 200 people to purchases a ticket to the May 18 and/or 19 Women in Tech Conference will receive one free copy of Humor, Seriously.

"Humor is serious business. And that’s a fact backed by cold, hard research. Humor builds bonds, defuses tension, boosts innovation, and bolsters resilience through hard times. Like now. And now. 

That’s why Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas teach “Humor: Serious Business”, at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, a course that has helped some of the world’s most hard-driving, blazer-wearing business minds have more joy in their work and lives. Want to hear something funny? These Stanford MBAs get as much academic credit for a course about humor as they do for “Financial Accounting.” We know. We wish we could go back to school too… 

Now you can — sort of — with their new book! In it, Jennifer and Naomi share advice from world-class comedians, findings from behavioral scientists, and stories from leaders around the world. They reveal how humor works — and how it not only changes the way you do business, but live life."
