About this Talk

Technology is not gender-neutral, which can result in a biased perspective and approach to the design and development of products and services. During this session, we will explore how certain words and phrases can be exclusionary or harmful to certain groups of people. We will also discuss how to create a more welcoming environment and provide examples and tips on how to incorporate inclusive language into our daily communication. By doing so, we can gain a better understanding of why it matters and actively work towards creating a more gender-inclusive tech community.
