Diversity in Tech – Here East London

The Diversity in Tech organised by Tech London Advocates brought together London’s digital community at Here East, at the heart of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, on the 06th October 2016 to examine the scale of the industry’s diversity problem.

Some household tech gurus, corporate leaders, politicians, students and a vibrant crowd from all backgrounds discussed a thought provoking agenda including:

Disrupting ourselves
Disrupting the future
Disrupting the City
The business case for diversity
The international community
Home grown talent
