As we talk about conference codes of conduct and creating more inclusive events and diverse stages—no more #manels!—I want to share a recent conference experience about an upcoming event at which I’ll be speaking and teaching. (thread)
Next week the @Fluxible UX conference is in Kitchener-Waterloo, near Toronto. Now in its 7th year, it promises “an inclusive, cooperative environment where everyone is welcomed, open dialogue is encouraged, and all perspectives are appreciated.” Let’s unpack that vision! (2/?)
The @Fluxible organizers realize that if “everyone is welcome” and “all perspectives are appreciated,” representation on stage matters. So, they put together a speaker lineup diverse in age, gender, ethnicity, industry, expertise, seniority, geography, and other qualities. (3/?)

2. Does this reflect lack of #merit or prevalence of #sexism that @skochgroup has found only 4 women of worth, out of 46 speakers?
- The 4 women: @ShamikaRavi @rachnakhaira @navikakumar, Yamini Aiyar
- How are the 42 men feeling?

3. Today began with @skochgroup declaring that only 4 women were found #meritorious, to speak on tech.
But 42 men were worthy.
They celebrated this #inequality, with a full page ad in Indian Express.
