Kristina Maria Brandstetter & Astrid Wieland Head of Marketing and Communications at #TheNewITGirls	Diversity instead of simplicity. Why diversity promotes innovation and what you can do for it Companies thrive on innovation, and innovation thrives on diversity. A better working atmosphere, higher reputation and more extensive market coverage are just a few of the arguments that should convince companies of the added value of diversity.

Companies that have a high proportion of women in managerial positions, for example, generate higher returns on average. Diversity has a decisive influence on the innovation performance of a company: "Industry affiliation",… read more

Iuliia Martynovych Project Manager at EPAM	Challenges in IT mentoring female mentee During my 20+ years career in IT, unfortunately, a lot of times I observed a lot of female colleagues who sacrificed their professional career because of fear of not coping with balancing career/family.

Linda Howson Physical Security Research Engineer at Nedap N.V.	Agile Physical Security And The Inevitable Paradigm Shift Physical security is, often, operationally focussed. While the organisational goals and strategy are used to form the initial security designs, many of the original driving factors become lost in the midst of time and change. How, then, can you be sure that the security decisions made today, provide the expected results? More importantly, how do you know that your current security organisation satisfies the needs of your rapidly developing business? As a security professional, you need an overview, a digital twin, that enables rapid response and provides… read more
Shalvi Mahajan Data Scientist	Natural Language Understanding and Inference Natural language processing is a commonly heard topic related to textual processing. But NLU or NLI are also the part of NLP which actually are the subtopics of NLP. Natural language understanding explains how the language needs to be understood before processing it.

Dora Palfi CEO and Co-Founder at imagiLabs	How to fix tech's leaky pipeline? Focus on pre-teen and teen girls. Research has shown that that girls’ interest in technology drops dramatically between the ages of 11 and 16 (compared to boys). We at imagiLabs have decided to focus on this critical age range. Our goal is to engage girls when they are most likely to be interested in tech and use the power of community as well as shared passions to maintain their engagement as they get older. Our thesis is that by providing tools and a sense of inclusion at the right age, and doing so through a scalable solution, we can contribute to equipping and empowering the next generation of female engineers, developers… read more

Huguette Diakabana Digital Health Advisor and Aspen New Voices Fellow at WHO Digital Health Technical Advisory Group and Aspen Institute	How to ensure that technology is bridging and not widening the access gap in the global south If we don't consider the global south context, we risk widening an access gap that will devastate women in the global south for years to come. Technology allows us to address global health gaps in ways we haven't been able to do in the past. However, to ensure that it bridges rather than limit access to conducive work conditions, quality care, and socioeconomic gaps, we must ensure diversity in developers, policymakers, and local voices in the process of defining solutions. We must ensure that we include and elevate women's voices. Women are often at the center of solving… read more
