MIAMI, FL – March 23, 2023 – (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) – The United Nations theme for International Women’s Day this year is: “For an inclusive digital world: Innovation and technology for gender equality.” It is estimated that by 2050, 75% of jobs will be related to STEM areas (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and yet today, women hold just 22% of positions in artificial intelligence, to name just one field.
However, according to the UN, from the earliest days of computing to the present age of virtual reality and artificial intelligence, women have made unmeasurable contributions to the digital world in which we increasingly live.
What are some of the barriers that women face in the technology industry? How can companies and organizations encourage more women to enter and succeed in technology roles? How can men in technology support their female colleagues and promote gender diversity in the industry? These are some of the questions that will be discussed in this timely edition of the FIAP Face to Face Webinar aimed to encourage women in the creative industry to play an active role in shaping the future of digital innovation.
Leading women executives in this area such as Sejal Amin, Chief Technology Officer, Vanessa Salvo, Senior Product Manager, both at Shutterstock; and Johanna Salazar, Digital Transformation Executive, Creative Technologist, AR/VR/XR Leader, Two Goats, will discuss the current state of women in tech, the challenges they face, and potential solutions to overcome these obstacles. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of how they can contribute to the digital industry and make a positive impact.
The webinar “Shaping the Future of Digital Innovation: A Call to Action for Women in Technology”, will be moderated by Mara Fernández, Associate Editor and Senior Director of PRODU, and will take place on March 28 at 12pm Miami (EST).
