All Welcome Here: How the XR Industry Can Build Diverse Teams

Oct 25

11:35 - 12:00

Description

The importance of diverse and inclusive teams, especially supporting new and returning parents, has become a priority for companies of all sizes, from global corporations to start-ups, and is especially true within our XR and Emerging Tech scene. But, there is still a lot of work to do.

Leading the way is XR MOMS, a new initiative co-founded by full-stack developer Alexandra Weiss (Vodafone Group), that encourages more females to get excited about building new skills and careers in XR via training, networking and industry placements.

Join us in this exclusive fireside chat led by Muki Kulhan, AWE regular and award-winning CIO/Exec XR Producer as they shed light on ways to address the sticky points (from a parental perspective), find your allies of support (from a non-parental perspective), and address the ways to overcome the many industry challenges to create an inclusive and growing work culture for all.
