Hello!
Thank you for an awesome first day of the Ada’s List Conf 2021! A huge thank you to our amazing speakers, attendees, volunteers and particularly our keynotes: Katrine Marçal and Sara Wachter-Boettcher.
We apologise for the platform issue which de-railed the end of Sara’s talk, please find attached the slides from her talk. For those who experienced issues in Andra Bria’s excellent talk, you can find the slides here for: Designing more inclusive products and services. We have rescheduled Dr Rashmi Narayana’s talk “Befriending self - doubt & fear of failure for women in tech” to 1:15PM tomorrow. Please join!
We also apologise for the other technical issues we experienced today - We’re working with OnLive and hope things are better tomorrow but we so appreciate all the patience and encouragement! You all are fab. As Sara so eloquently pointed out “concrete examples of who we are and what we believe give us something to call upon in hard times.” We are a community who support one another and who work in tech, learning from our challenges. So we apologise for the issues and we’ll do our best to fix them, but please bear with us.
