Knowledge 23 - Women in Tech sessions
Knowledge 23, ServiceNow’s annual conference, is being held in Las Vegas this year. This will be the first time we’ve had a single, large Knowledge conference since before the COVID times!
As excited as I am for this event, I’m even more excited to see several sessions and events focusing on women in the ServiceNow ecosystem. Below is a list of sessions & meetups you should check out if you’re going to knowledge or you can go to this link for a single page where you can easily add these sessions to your agenda: https://devlink.sn/k23-women
15 percent and fearless: A discussion among developers that happen to be women
Thursday, May 18 | 11:00 - 11:20 AM
It is well-known that the tech industry lacks gender diversity, and the ServiceNow ecosystem is no exception, with women representing a mere 15% of the ServiceNow® community. Why is this the case? What barriers do women face that discourage them from pursuing a career as a ServiceNow developer? Join developers and administrators, who happen to be women, as we discuss the everyday challenges we encounter in the field, explore some of the hurdles we've faced and how we are able to overcome them. Find a community of women around you to share your experiences with and grow with.
