Session: Why are there so few of us in Tech? Experiences from Latin America
Have you wonder why there are so few women working in Science and Technology companies? In this talk, some factors are discussed and analyzed focusing on Latin America to later present some efforts, by different companies, governments and civil association including their results and impact. All of us have a common factor: the use of technology, and even more now. Finally, we will discuss how each of us can be part of this.Bio
