Supporting women & diversity at DevFests
Amy Schapiro
Hello to all DevFest organizers!
I work on the Women Techmakers team and am excited to be able to support you all to put on engaging DevFests this season. We are grateful for the dedication you have in making your event dynamic and reflective of your community demographics by supporting diversity and inclusion at your events!
As you are working hard on executing DevFests, I want to remind you of a few resources to help you make sure your speakers, attendees, and event logistics welcome all genders, backgrounds, ability levels and other characteristics of the talented developers in your area.
Find tips in the DevFest organizer guide to find women speakers, attendees, & more
