this needs to change….
- Only 32% of speakers are women, down from 33% in 2017 (*Bizzabo).
- 76% of people said they are more likely to attend a conference that features a woman as a keynote speaker or panelist.
- Only 25% of all technology keynote or stand alone speakers are women (*Ensono 2018).
- 70% of women who have spoken on a panel report being the "lone woman" among participants.
…and don’t even get us started on the discrepancy of PAID speaking engagements.
the world needs more diverse voices out there…
