Female Futurists: A Daring Discussion About Diversity in Tech | Melbourne
About this event
"Why does it matter if only men are creating the tech we use today?"
- Do you plan on living in a future that has female representation?
- Do you recognise that technology is shaping our landscape really darn fast?
