AND Digital

Discover how AND Digital are doing their part to build a more inclusive and diverse tech scene in Leeds

Join us at Leeds Digital Festival as we hear from female developers at AND on their journey into tech, the challenges they faced, and what we can do as a community to build more inclusive and diverse organisations where women can thrive. We’ll also discuss some of the fantastic initiatives that are helping to encourage young women and girls into tech, such as AND’s work with Ahead Partnership. We’ll also spotlight our AND She Can series, which is an integral part of our work in building a diverse company and tech industry by empowering and enabling female talent. ----------AgendaWelcome &amp; intro - Diane Erskine Celebrating female Developers in tech - Sabira Damji Diversity &amp; Inclusion - AND’s women in tech - Julie GoodinsonkinderAhead partnership: working with young women in tech - Gareth BellAND She Can - Mihir BadianiGender initiatives in recruitment - Sophie HallamQ&amp;A----------Speakers About Julie Goodinson-KinderSquad Lead AND Pro Golfer in TrainingJulie is a Squad Lead working as part of Club Murray and also works as a delivery lead on Client engagements.
