In honor of all the women around the world leading the way toward a more equitable future, on this International Women’s Day we assembled ten of our favorite talks by women at Techonomy conferences. There are plenty more where these came from, because we’ve always had a lot of women at our conferences (though we still don’t believe we’ve had enough).
