Creating a Legacy For Women in Tech

About this session

It’s no secret that successful women in tech seem to be an anomaly. While many companies have succeeded at marketing to female technologists, getting their applications and essentially hiring them - retaining these women throughout the entirety of a woman’s non-linear career is an added challenge. This chat will discuss the good, bad, and ugly truths about the historic lack of diversity in the tech space and the strides CNN is making around prioritizing diverse voices. You’ll get the chance to ask Kimberly & Kati anything about their impressive careers at CNN and what keeps them passionate about the work they're doing.

You will walk away from this chat with:

  • A better understanding of why diversity is important to CNN
  • What the team at CNN is doing to prioritize diverse voices and tell different stories
  • What to consider as a female technologist when accepting a new role
