Date: Wednesday 15 February
Time: 15.30 - 17.30
Location: Lorentz-Zeeman, Conference Center High Tech Campus Eindhoven
A Fe+male Tech Heroes event only for men? Seriously?
Co-founder Ingelou Stol laughs. "Yes we know, it's weird to announce. But we have a good reason to do this. We want this event to be the start where male allies in tech can meet and inspire each other. After this, we will get ready for step two of our master plan. Engaging the entire Fe+male Tech Heroes community, including more male allies."
At this "male allies" event, we will share knowledge, learn from other men in technology, and there will also be time to ask questions.
The importance of male allies for greater gender equality and diversity in the tech sector is essential. Keynote speaker Helen Kardan of ASML will talk about diversity and gender equality in tech and why we need men to support it. We will also share with the audience some facts and figures that highlight the opportunities we are missing if we do not improve diversity in the tech workforce.
We have an excellent panel of men who will share their experiences and insights. They will share how they inspire others inside and outside their organizations to close the gender gap.
At this Male Allies event, we'll put our heads together and look at the challenges facing women in technology and how to bring about much-needed change.
