PSA: "It's hard to find women to speak at events in Tech" - this is pure bullshit 💩
It's hard to convince women to risk attending a mostly-male event when they cannot see your ally-ship, maybe. But there are plenty of smart, highly capable women in Tech that would significantly enhance your event by speaking there.
Build your network. Listen to women. Then get a 50:50 women:men organizing team. 🧑🤝🧑 Then listen some more.
Maybe then women will say "yes" to your event.
