THE TECH LANDSCAPE AND CULTIVATING LEADERS OF THE FUTURE

Technology is a booming industry with growing importance in every economy, but it is also suffering from a large skill shortage at a time when a criminally low proportion of women are entering and staying in the fields related to mathematics and computer science. Hear how inclusion in a tech-driven world can impact the persistent bias in data collection and algorithms that make very big decisions in our lives. Anne-Marie will also discuss what we can do to cultivate technology leaders for the future of work.
