Full Credential Description
Women In Tech [Unfiltered] was launched as a response to the specific challenges faced by women in the technology sector, aiming to create a supportive community that fosters mentorship and promotes women-led businesses. The initiative addresses barriers that women encounter in the industry, shifting the focus from performative actions to actionable support and collaboration. This evolution is evident in the Manchester tech scene, where there is a growing emphasis on inclusivity and intersectionality, allowing for a diverse range of voices to participate in the conversation about women in tech.
The tailored solution provided by Women In Tech [Unfiltered] includes a series of events, such as the upcoming round 2 conference integrated into the Manchester Tech Festival 2024. This initiative is designed to platform new voices and catalyze ongoing discussions that began at previous events. The goal is to establish a permanent community that offers resources and avenues for connection throughout the year, rather than treating the events as isolated occurrences.
The quantifiable results of this initiative are reflected in the increased participation of diverse groups within the tech community, including male allies, trans women, women of color, LGBTQ+ women, and individuals with disabilities. This inclusivity not only enriches the dialogue but also enhances the potential for real change within the industry. The ongoing support and resources provided by Women In Tech [Unfiltered] aim to create a lasting impact, fostering a collaborative environment that encourages teamwork and shared solutions to the challenges faced by women in tech.
