Hi friends,
It is everyoneâs responsibility to amplify underrepresented voices and create opportunities for historically marginalized groups. That is why this month we are highlighting one of our favorite virtual events organized by the Lesbians Who Tech team: Debug 2020 Summit.
Dedicated to supporting queer techies and allies as they level up their careers, this event focuses technology trends and pushes the tech sector to be more inclusive. The conference starts November 16th will last for five days.
And you can attend regardless of cost restraints! Access to all Keynote Talks is free, and scholarships are available for LGBTQ women and non-binary and trans folks.
