Diversity & Inclusion
[02.11.23 - 8:30am - 5:30pm]
Alongside women in tech and tech for social change, a deep understanding of neurodiversity and D&I is vitally important to us here at Manchester Tech Festival and to our community.
This track day is designed to educate, empower and inspire those looking to promote and embed inclusivity in their professional and personal practices. Through a range of talks, panels and activities, we will seek to examine what neurodiversity and D&I looks like in tech, how our community is achieving inclusive practice, and what we can do to be better as an industry.
