The gender gap in tech in Europe is still high: As of 2021, only 19.1% of Information and Technology Communication specialists employed in the EU are female.

Tech company diversity often doesn't fully reflect our diverse world, and a lack of diversity can result in harm and unintended consequences. Diversity matters for issues like hiring decisions, leadership opportunities, innovation, and marketing strategies.

To share unique perspectives and give practical insights on how to tackle the barriers women face in Europe’s tech industry, Inclusive Tech and Yelp hosted a hybrid event “Breaking Barriers: Women of Europe’s Tech Industry”.

The event will be moderated by Mina Saidze (Forbes 30 Under 30 Founder of Inclusive Tech) who will discuss the challenges, opportunities, and future of women in tech in Europe in conversation with the audience and featured women speakers from Yelp engineering and product:

Roxana Anabel Lafuente — Software Engineer at Yelp
Veronika Kostova — Product Designer at Yelp
Whitney Zheng — Engineering Manager at Yelp

What you’ll learn:
> Stories of current Yelp women employees in engineering and product design positions
> How to support diverse tech talent and overcome obstacles in building an inclusive organisation
> Practical tips that you can apply in your day-to-day work to be an ally and support women in tech
> Exclusive insights and practical advice that you can leverage for your daily work in the tech industry

We are looking forward to seeing you and challenging the status quo of tech. Let’s close the diversity gap in tech!

Yelp has long focused our diversity, inclusion, and belonging efforts inside of Yelp, putting our energy into diverse hiring, equitable promotion practices, and operationalizing inclusion. We are proud of our growth but understand there is more work ahead. You can learn more about Yelp’s workforce diversity in our 2021 Diversity Report.
