Description

What is the UN doing to accelerate women’s participation and leadership in AI, STEM and how can industry translate policy into practice?

Following our presentations at UN CSW70, Global Dialogue on AI Governance, AI for Good, WSIS, and UNECE, we will share practical frameworks and lessons from the field, and challenge us to look more closely at the systems, technologies and decisions that can unintentionally reinforce gender inequality.

We will share our insights on what happens when we red team the systems assumptions and promises that are supposed to advance gender equality.

Be part of exploring practical steps organisations can take towards more inclusive design, governance, data transparency and accountability.

Format: Key insights + panel + audience Q&A + networking. Refreshments will be provided.

Who should attend: Leaders, policy and DEI practitioners, educators, students, researchers, and advocates.

Speakers: Chris Skipper-Conway and Sarah Barnbrook

Founded in 2005, Women.4/STEM is a not-for-profit organisation that operates to increase the entry, retention, and progress of women in the STEM industries. Our vision is to actively promote and support women throughout their STEM careers. Our mission is to provide a range of practical and sustainable initiatives that will promote urban and regional women’s entry, retention, and progression in tech.

There are many other initiatives within the industry that focus on gender diversity. What makes Women.4/STEM unique is that we take a holistic approach to diversity. Our programs are focused across all ages of women, from young schoolgirls and women at university, through to those already in the industry all the way to industry leaders.

Our programs are designed to impact change and affect diversity throughout a woman’s education and career. Women.4/STEM have been recognised by the industry for its contribution and was awarded the #Tech Diversity Award for Champion of the Year 2019. This distinguished award recognises the extensive work that the entire VIC ICT for Women team contributes to the industry
