📣🚨 Action Alert | Past Is Not Prologue for Adweek

GenderAvenger has awarded at least two Gold GA Stamps of Approval to Adweek for excellent gender balance. Unfortunately for Adweek, past is not prologue. Take a gander at the breakdown of featured speakers for the 2021 Adweek NexTech virtual conference slated for next week:

Women comprise just a third of speakers overall, but, more egregiously, women of color are sorely underrepresented at just 5% of speakers. At an event that will discuss marketing strategies, audience targeting, and online privacy, this is unacceptable. We know there are more women “brand executives and technology leaders” with “insights into integrated strategies you'll need to succeed in 2021”.

Time to get back on track, Adweek!

Oh, @Adweek, our high hopes were dashed after reviewing speakers for next week’s virtual #AdweekNexTech. With just 5% women of color speaking, it’s clearly time to get back on track. You’ve done it before! #GenderAvenger https://www.genderavenger.com/blog/action-alert-past-is-not-prologue-for-adweek
