PANEL DISCUSSION | ONLY AVAILABLE ON APRIL 22

Words Matter: Evolving Inclusive Language and Conscious Naming in Tech

The tech we use and deploy daily is riddled with terminology that is exclusionary and biased. For years, our industry has been making strides towards greater inclusivity, but it will take all of us to create broader momentum and be part of the change. Join a moderated panel to discuss the efforts and issues of driving systematic transformation in partnership with members from the Inclusive Naming Initiative, a global community of professionals from leading organizations whose mission is to help companies and projects remove harmful and unclear language and replace it with an agreed-upon set of neutral terms.
