About a year and a half ago a certain popular security conference was called out for having little to no diversity among their 20 keynote speakers. A watershed moment for them and our industry. And it’s affected me. 1/11

RSA proved that the lack of gender diversity in their lineup isn't a pipeline issue... by improving their lineup. Next up, let's see other kinds of diversity in there and every other conference. We're still missing out on amazing voices.

We do better at protecting people and treating them with respect when we have more diverse voices. Not-coincidentally, the conferences doing well at this also have the most interesting content. We put together @OURSAConference for both. In a long weekend. https://t.co/AQ8GwZC15E

After day 1, it's clear @enigmaconf has put a *lot* of effort towards creating diverse panels. Mad props to the organizers, and here's to hoping other conferences take a page out of your book. #enigma2019

So many amazing diverse speakers possible for infosec events. @OURSAConference showed it is possible. @laparisa @ashleytolb @iMeluny @astepanovich @k8em0 @evacide @mishmosh are some of the amazing women that come to mind. Many more too!
Why #infosec needs more female conference speakers. @sandra001 @zatlyn @sandycarielli @limbagoa @BobbieC

“We are debunking the myth that there aren’t enough women experts... it shouldn’t be a one-off, rather an institutionalized change that reflects the expertise out there.” - the brilliant @saffronsec dropping knowledge and talking #RESET2018 in @Forbes. https://t.co/h9fFp4bjcH

OURSA did a great job advocating for more diversity in security while also making it very clear that the industry is already way more heterogeneous than some acknowledge
