The Future of Tech is Queer

Join us for a powerful and insightful LGBTQ+ session at the Women in Tech Summit!

This year, we invite you to explore inclusion through the lens of today’s most pressing challenges- from social realities to the rapidly evolving world of technology.

The session will open with an inspiring keynote by Julia Maciocha, addressing current topics that matter to the LGBTQ+ community-  from visibility and representation to the broader social and cultural shifts shaping our present moment. The talk will also explore what unlocks people’s potential and energy, what drives engagement, and what barriers still hold individuals back from fully showing up as themselves, both in the workplace and beyond.

We will then move into a dynamic panel discussion with representatives of partner companies, diving into the intersection of Responsible AI and the risks of unconscious bias. Together, we’ll explore how technology can both reinforce and challenge inequalities and what it really takes to build AI systems that are fair, inclusive, and aware.

From real-life examples of bias in AI to practical approaches for teaching inclusive language and designing more equitable systems, this conversation will offer both critical insight and actionable inspiration.

Whether you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community, an ally, or a tech professional shaping the future of AI, this session creates space to learn, question, and co-create better solutions.

Be part of the conversation. Challenge assumptions. Help build a more inclusive futur in tech and beyond.
