DPC2021: Diversity and Inclusion in Tech (Talk + Panel discussion)
Diversity and Inclusion in Tech talk + panel discussion.
Talk "You are not the user" by Koen Cornelis
If you work in tech, chances are you noticed that it's quite a homogenous group. So how come there are so few women & people of colour (to name but two underrepresented groups)? Do you really have to be a special kind of stupid to be a developer? Or could everyone enjoy the sweet bliss that comes from banging their head in frustration for hours, trying to debug the code, only to realize in the end they forgot a semi-colon? This talk focuses on Diversity and Inclusion from a usability/accessibility perspective. Take a ride and find out why you are not the user; and how that knowledge can help us shape a more inclusive environment.
Panel Discussion "Diversity and Inclusion in Tech"
With panel members: Juliette Reinders Folmer, Zan Baldwin, Ayesh Karunaratne and Francesca Marano as panel moderator
We will turn our spotlight on some well respected speakers in tech to start a panel discussion with topics like; what is diversity and inclusion, how can conference organizers contribute in a diverse speaker line-up, how to create diversity in talk submissions, what is the panels opinion on the current situation, what has changed throughout the years?
This talk was given at the Dutch PHP Conference in 2021, organised and hosted by Ibuildings. Visit https://phpconference.nl or https://ibuildings.nl for more information.
