Latinas in Tech Summit 2023 is back in-person and it will explore the need to promote latina talent and help them become decision-makers in the tech industry

The Latinas in Tech Summit, the largest tech event for Latinas, is back in-person on Thursday, May 18, 2023 at The Palace of Fine Arts of San Francisco. After being fully virtual the last three years, this 7th edition of Latinas in Tech Summit will also have a one-day virtual experience happening on Friday, May 19, 2023 via MeetYoo. The two-day conference will feature over 40 speakers and influential voices such as Ellen Ochoa, the first Latina Astronaut and former NASA Director and Ina Fried, Veteran Technology Journalist and Chief Technology Correspondent at Axios, among other Latinx industry leaders.

The Largest Tech Event for Latinas is Back for a Hybrid Event, 1-Day In-person and 1-Day Virtual.

The theme of this year’s Latinas in Tech Summit is “LET’S GET LOUD!”. This is a reflection of the evolution of the DEI conversation, moving from bringing in Latino talent, to inclusion, retention and promotion of Latina talent. Even though many companies talk about it, the growth and presence of Latinas in decision-making positions is still a problem.

“We are more and more present in tech companies but overwhelmingly at the lowest positions. Overqualified, underutilized. We are using this opportunity to GET LOUD, to be visible and to show the world why Latinas are not only necessary to create real innovation but how it is also the right Business Decision to put Latinas front and center in leadership positions.” – Rocio van Nierop, CEO at Latinas in Tech

The LiT Summit will be moderated by multiple Emmy Awards winner and Telemundo producer and journalist, Iris Castro. Day 1, on May 18th will consist of over 10 keynote sessions, fireside chats, panel discussions, a startup competition, an awards ceremony and ending with a Recruiting Fiesta. On Day 2, all the content from the previous day will be available on-demand plus over 10 more LIVE virtual workshops hosted by tech leaders and entrepreneurs. Attendees will be able to connect and engage with top tech companies on both days through their in-person and virtual booth exhibitions.

Latinas in Tech Summit is sponsored by Comcast NBCUniversal, Salesforce, Roblox, Netflix, Expedia Group, Google, Workday, among others.

Finally, Latinas in Tech will be presenting their 2022 Annual Report, which summarizes the results of a member survey conducted in early 2023. The report highlights the persistent gap between skilled Latinas and their underrepresentation in decision-making positions, The 2021 Latinas In Tech Annual Report can be found here.
