Google event - Queer Tech Voices summit

Queer Tech Voices
As part of Google's ongoing commitment to increase the visibility of underrepresented talent in engineering, we’re excited to announce that we’re hosting our first LGBTQ+ student summit called Queer Tech Voices taking place at Google LA in Venice, CA from November 2-4.

Queer Tech Voices is an all-expenses-paid summit for US-based LGBTQ+ tech students to convene for a weekend of knowledge sharing and relationship building. This summit will feature developmental workshops and stories facilitated by community leaders and Google employees that work to evolve our understanding of diversity, inclusion, and intersectionality.

All US-based university students excelling in computer science and passionate about LGBTQ+ visibility in tech are welcome to apply (see full eligibility criteria at g.co/queertechvoices). Students who are a member of a group that is historically underrepresented in tech are strongly encouraged to apply.

Acceptance to the 2018 Queer Tech Voices summit includes financial sponsorship for travel and accommodations. Sponsorship includes:
Round trip flight to Los Angeles, CA (from within the US or Canada)
Reimbursement for ground transportation to and from the airport and the hotel
Arranged hotel accommodations from November 2-4
All meals beginning with Friday night dinner to Sunday lunch
So much swag!

Please apply here by Friday, September 14th. Accepted Queer Tech Voices attendees will be contacted by Friday, September 21st with next steps.
