In recent article published by Techsauce, Lais de Oliveira (founder of 8spaces.co & moregirls.co) mentioned some of the aspects which make it challenging to have more women in tech conferences.

At Techsauce we’ve been putting an effort in noticing the gap by consciously acknowledging the biases and challenges which might lead to a lower female representation in our conferences and media publications.

We believe that women taking the hot spot shouldn’t be an issue, but a natural step as so many female entrepreneurs are earning it by merit. All we gotta do is turn the spotlight on!

Here some outstanding individuals we’re proud to have at Techsauce Global Summit 2017:
