Diversity in Tech: Discuss Live on InformationWeek Radio

NEW YORK, July 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- For years, the tech world has prided itself on being progressive and inclusive when it comes to its employees. However, recent reports from some of the biggest names, including Google, Facebook, and Twitter, find that the people who work for these companies are overwhelmingly white and male.

How can tech firms create more opportunities for women and minorities in their workforces? InformationWeek Radio is looking for answers, and they want you to participate.

Please join InformationWeek editor Curtis Franklin along with special guest, Ashe Dryden, an independent developer and author, as they look to uncover what the tech industry can do to diversify its workforce.

In addition to her work as a Ruby developer, Dryden is an outspoken educator for diversity, inclusiveness, and empathy. She's currently writing a book on increasing diversity, changing culture, and doing better outreach from within companies.
