Diversity in Tech

Monday, March 16
11:00AM - 12:00PM

Hilton Austin Downtown
Salon D
500 E 4th St

The startup community talks a good game when it comes to inclusion, but the preponderance of high-growth entrepreneurs and the people they employ are overwhelmingly male and overwhelmingly white. This needs to change. The homogeneity of tech stifles innovation and weakens the bottom line.

This panel of experts and practitioners will focus on the challenge and opportunities for attracting diverse talent and offer remedies for building a better workforce. Presented by Google for Entrepreneurs.
