/ Code Inclusive: How anyone can draft a diverse tech ecosystem

Description

Picture a workplace where everyone feels valued, not just because it sounds good, but because it's true. As software engineers and D&I leads, we're cutting to the chase on why diversity and inclusion aren't just buzzwords; they're the fuel for innovation and the antidote to algorithmic biases. Forget about titles – we'll bust the myth that only the bigwigs can kickstart D&I discussions. Spoiler alert: we were once rookies too. We'll kick off with the down-to-earth truth: a company can be diverse but still miss the mark on being genuinely inclusive. Get ready for a candid chat about the real-life saga of launching D&I networks in our Barcelona office – the ups, the downs, and the lessons that hit home. We've got practical strategies to keep those diversity and inclusion conversations rolling, 365 days a year. We’ll be sharing examples on activities you can start doing with or without any budget. This isn't your typical feel-good story; it's a blueprint for creating a tech industry where diversity and inclusion aren't just checkboxes – they're the core of our professional culture.
