Wednesday 7th November | From 6pm
Avaloq, 1 Tanfield, Edinburgh EH3 5DA
We are delighted to be partnering with Avaloq and Incremental Group for the first of our Tech Smarts series of events. Join us for a discussion on how the tech industry becomes more inclusive for women and what trends our recent survey highlighted that need to be considered as organisations become more diverse.
Our panel of speakers features experts including:
Eileen McLaren, COO and Exec Director at Cognitive Geology
Gill Scott, Head of Training Excellence at Avaloq
Craig Mackay, Chief Product Officer at Mudano
Paul Skovron, MD and Diversity & Inclusion Specialist at 3In Consulting
We’ll be discussing a range of topics from why women with an 80% fit and transferable skills don’t put themselves forward for the “new roles” in technology - effectively reducing the candidate pool, how do we make our working culture and environment in tech more inclusive for female candidates – how do we engage women to see tech as an option for them as a career and how do you positively discriminate without alienating your current teams?
