How do we shrink the technology gender gap?
"As the role of technology in the global economy continues to grow, we must make sure today’s generation of girls is not left behind and locked out from the jobs and leadership opportunities of the future. Using technology, we can give more girls and women the tools they need to build a brighter future for themselves and the world," wrote Kathy Calvin, President and CEO of the United Nations Foundation.
Please join WhiteHat Magazine and Diplomatic Courier for a panel discussion on the role of technology in empowering women, both in our communities and around the world. Bringing together representatives from public diplomacy, civil society, and private enterprise, we will be closing out Women's Month with a look to the future.
The panel is free and open to the public. Send in your questions for the panel here, or through Twitter at #WMTech!
For those who cannot attend in person, this event will be streamed on the Diplomatic Courier's Google+ page.
