Juliacon 2024

Diversity Dinner and Discussion
2024-07-11 , For Loop (3.2)

Join us to learn how to get involved with diversity initiatives within the Julia community! This is a great opportunity to meet new people and work on a meaningful project.


We invite you to attend the Diversity Dinner and Discussion, an evening event focused on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the Julia Language community. At this event, various community DEI organizations will discuss their efforts to make the Julia community more welcoming and increase user diversity. We will have a hands-on activity where attendees will design a mentoring platform to help new members break into the Julia community and contribute to projects they care about. We hope to have a fun discussion-based event focused on empowering attendees to make an impact on diversity within the Julia community while creating networking opportunities between people from different backgrounds.
