1/6 We started Stop the Manels with an intention to drive gender representation in the tech industry, starting with conferences and events. Reports say that, overall only 20% of speakers at tech events are women. Gender gap is a real problem!

It's infuriating that we as a community are either ignorant of what's wrong with this panel or just don't care.

Within an hour of posting this, flooded with responses and scores of names. So what's your excuse for #manels?
Looking for women speakers for a conference with these themes: India-China, technology, internet and data protection. Suggest names please. Thank you.

Three of my male colleagues are pulling out of two conferences after finding out they’re on all white guy panels. That. Is. How. It’s. Done. ❤️

@Ifhnos_official where are the women? There are plenty that could speak, why aren't they? Its 2019 and this sort of #manference should not be happening. A good gender equity policy will fix this. @GenderAvenger @ExposingGender @ManelWatchUS @StopTheManels

🥇 Congratulations to @Salesforce! The speaker lineup they put together for @Dreamforce earns a Gold GA Stamp of Approval, proving gender parity at a business conference can be achieved! #GenderAvenger #DF19: genderavenger.com/blog/dream…

This is a huge NO. Organizers ought to be more responsible. If you see a pattern in the kind of people you're inviting (all male, all seniors), do you think it's time to revisit your criteria? Ask for suggestions if you think there are no women you can invite. There are plenty!

Women of Color: We Need You In Leadership. Here’s How to Get There. This post first appeared on Elpha. If you’re a woman (particularly a woman of color) in tech, you’ve probably felt it. That feeling that you’re the “only one” in the room. buff.ly/2OarsKn

Changing your conference gender equity policy to 50:50 will contribute to a change and is something you can easily do. The extra women speakers will the have the invited speaker slot for their track record and for things like promotion documents.

How do you deal with unconscious gender bias? Call it out. Everytime. Maybe not in the moment but don’t ignore it. I’m not sure that ‘being the best that you can and then you will be respected’ even begins to recognise this is an issue #WAMMsterdam #genderbias
