All Levels
Join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion featuring accomplished women representing each working generation as they explore the evolving landscape of gender equality. Delving into the question of whether the gender gap has truly been narrowing over the years, our panelists will share insights on the unique challenges faced by women across generations and examine whether it is now easier for the younger generation. Together, they will identify the lingering gaps that demand our attention on the path to equality and explore strategies for intergenerational support among women. This session aims to inspire dialogue on fostering collaboration, understanding, and empowerment to create a more inclusive and equitable future for all women.
Moderator: Shannon Kempe
ABOUT TODAY'S PROGRAM:
We at DATAVERSITY have noticed a dramatic increase in women becoming data practitioners over the years. To better understand how we can better support this growing demographic, we held a special interest group at Enterprise Data World Fall in Anaheim, California. From that discussion, we have started building education, networking, and training opportunities, and are excited to be producing our first Women in Data Management and Governance event!
This event is included in your Enterprise Data World registration, and all are welcome.
