Repository Details

A directory of underrepresented speakers for Q&A panels/conferences/events. No more excuses.

Speakers Who Want a Platform

Rationale

Often, we find speaker lists or panels at conferences and other events that lack people from underrepresented groups. At times, we hear the excuse that there aren't enough people from underrepresented groups to reach out to or that they couldn't find any that wanted to participate. This list aims to fix that problem.

Everyone who wants to speak should consider adding themselves if you identify as part of an underrepresented group. Everyone's experiences matter and should be heard - no matter your skill level, title, role, etc. Please check out the CONTRIBUTING.md file for guidelines for contributing.
