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!
