Panel: Inspiring women in tech and championing data leadership
summary
Panelists outline concrete programs and measurable goals: a Toronto Womxn in Data Science campaign to empower a million women and an inclusive data fellowship launching next year, IBM’s DB2 ecosystem work that standardizes DB2 containerization for builds and deploys, volunteer pathways like Technovation girls 8–18 and employer summer camps that got kids into coding, and operational tactics—female-led demo days, sponsorship (advocacy when absent), upskilling for reboarding, and retention metrics to reduce churn.
