How can we ensure that the solutions, practices and development growing in the regional Tech industry is inclusive of our Caribbean Identity and experience?

This year #IWDTechSummit2023 will celebrate and explore the theme #DareToBeCaribbean, and explore where we came from, how far the community has come, and where we will go in our Caribbean context in the STEAM space.

This year, we take on the challenge of hosting dialogue exploring the status of the Caribbean Identity and Experience in the Tech Industry, how entrepreneurs and founders are launching breakthrough solutions for regional communities and what steps must be taken to ensure that the Caribbean experience is INCLUDED.

We will also examine the impact of recent programmes and initiatives for DEI in Technology and what systems are needed to amplify Research and Data Collection that is needed for sustainable impact.

We will examine not only the experiences and challenges of our current landscape, but deep dive into the imagination, tools and systems needed to foster the growth of the Caribbean footprint and experience in the global network of technology.
