Out in Tech Bengaluru | Launch Event

June 29, 2019 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Hello, Bengaluru!

Out in Tech is a not-for-profit that unites the LGBTQ+ tech community by creating opportunities for its 25,000 members to advance their careers, grow their networks, and leverage tech for social change.

And we’re so excited to launch in Bengaluru.

Join Out in Tech and IBM’s Chief Information Office for a launch event at The Lalit Ashok featuring 2 panels: one centered around navigating sexual orientation and gender identity at work, and the other on cybersecurity / protecting yourself online.

We’re thrilled to connect the LGBTQ+ (and allied) tech community to discuss the importance of diversity, inclusion and belonging in the leading industry of our time.

We look forward to welcoming you and 100+ other members!

Lunch will be served.
