"Speaking Up For More Female Speakers At Tech Conferences":
Over the past few years, I’ve continually been dismayed by how few women are featured as speakers at tech conferences. According to one 2015 study in the U.S., only 25% of speakers at tech events are women — and in Europe I’ve observed certain conferences have fewer than 10%. Such was the case with Tech Open Air (TOA) in Berlin. Their initial line-up of speakers for TOA 2016 included only one female speaker out of 12 — less than 10%.
