Celebrating Women+ in Geospatial, March 2022

Inviting you to join us for a celebration of International Women’s Day and the 3rd Anniversary of Women+ in Geospatial!

What started as a tweet in 2019, has grown into a global professional network of more than 3600 women+ working across the geospatial community. Through the activities of the network, we have seen more diverse speaker line-ups at conferences, empowered many through the mentoring scheme, and advocated for the benefit and importance of diversity in our profession. And we are certain that the best is yet to come.

Starting at 1600CET Tuesday 8th March 2022, the event will be moderated by Denise McKenzie with keynote addresses from W+G Directors Julia Wagemann, Olivia Powell, and Sabrina Szeto and a panel discussion with amazing speakers exploring best practices and the actions that we can all take in our own workplaces to support diversity.

During this event, we want you to get inspired, united, and empowered to break the bias and to actively challenge the status quo. Together, we are strong and we can embrace change. We are looking forward to celebrating diversity with you. Also, ahead of March 8th, we invite you to participate in the IWD 2022 campaign theme “Break the Bias” by contributing your comments to this survey. It is about gender equality, diversity, and inclusion.

Speak up to bring a change in the future.
