[ Session Name ] Smashing the patriarchy - women in tech [ Primary Space ] Decentralisation [ Secondary Space ] Digital Inclusion
[ Submitter's Name ] Bec Fullbrook [ Submitter's Affiliated Organisation ] SAP
What will happen in your session?
I will explain the issue of decentralisation in the corporate tech space, particularly in relation to gender diversity and inclusion. The company controls over 70% of the worlds revenue, so if that is run by mostly middle aged white men, that's a lot of influence we are having. I spent 6 months designing, building and implementing programs to better support women in tech by decentralising the decision making process, and challenging the status quo when it comes to walking the talk in the gender inclusion space.
What is the goal or outcome of your session?
To inspire people to effect change in their circle of effect in the world (particularly as we move closer and closer towards the digital era). It is not the responsibility of 1 person to change the whole world, but it is our job to cast a stone into the ocean of potential change and set things into motion. Break the still waters. Rock the proverbial boat.This is another pebble i'm throwing into a new pool of calm waters.
If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.
Equipment to support a presentation would be appreciated but not 100% necessary. ie: projector + hdmi cable.
