Women in Technology: Presentation Skills
10:30 - 12:00
Presentation skills are crucial to communicating what you intend to in a conference, meeting, or delivering a pitch. These skills are also relevant to everyday life, as they build your confidence and help you to articulate your thoughts clearly to others. In this session, we’ll help refine your public presentation skills, discuss what makes a compelling presentation and provide tips and advice, leaving you feeling more confident in your skills to become an effective speaker. We will also hear some both good and bad experiences of delivering talks and pitches.
Enabling technology is helping to change our world, but how will the sector meet the needs of a diverse population if it is being shaped by a small section of society?
Gender imbalance in the technology industry is an issue, with only 5% of leadership positions held by women, and women less likely to consider a technology career than men (Pwc, Women in Tech Report). Recognising the important contributions of women as decision-makers, stakeholders, educators and experts across sectors and at all levels can lead to successful, long term solutions to development challenges, and we all must do more to ensure that the gender imbalance is addressed, accelerating the time it will take to truly create a more industry.
