Diversity and Inclusion in C++

Join us for a panel discussion on how we can improve diversity and inclusion in the C++ community.

The panelists will be sharing their experiences of the industry and having a conversation about how we can work together to make our communities and workplaces better. Questions will be taken from the audience to prompt discussion. Do you have questions about how you can help improve D&I in your spaces? Do you want to learn from other people's perspectives? Come along and bring lunch!
