Parking and transportation info here.\n\nYou’ve seen the tech diversity numbers. You’ve heard and read about the issue. Don’t you want to do something about it? We need innovative tech solutions to fix the workforce’s bias problem\, particularly within tech companies. Along every step of an employee’s lifecycle\, from interview to promotion\, biases and barriers can creep in and affect decision-making. Software can help extend opportunities to people of color\, females\, LGBTQ-identifying popualtions\, and other underrepresented minorities. And you can build it!\n\n\nIs there a market for these sorts of offerings? Well\, the human resources software (or people operations) space is now a $15 billion industry\, growing 60% in the last 5 years\, with $2.4B in investments flowing into the sector in 2015\, and with at least two unicorns (Gusto and Zenefits).  Per CB insights\, major investors in the people ops space include Kapor Capital\, 500 Startups\, Google Ventures\, Andreessen Horowitz\, and more!\n\nWe invite you to explore what’s possible and meet your potential next investor! We’re looking for passionate designers\, developers\, community members\, and business/non-profit professionals who want to make a difference and improve diversity in tech companies. Come learn the basics of founding and launching a successful people operations venture\, while solving real problems in tech. You can participate just for the experience—serious creative thinking\, inspired work\, and a lot of fun! \nFormat: \n\nAnyone is welcome to pitch their startup idea and receive feedback from their peers.\nTeams form organically around the ideas and those that have the most popular votes or team members carry on past Friday night. Each team must have at least three people.\nLeading researchers will present recent findings on the leaky pipeline and unconscious bias.\nWhat follows is a 54 hour frenzy of business model creation\, coding\, designing\, and market validation.\nThe event culminates with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders which presents another opportunity for critical feedback.\nWhether entrepreneurs found companies\, find a co-founder\, meet someone new\, or simply learn a new skill that stretches them beyond their usual 9-to-5\, everyone is guaranteed to leave the event better prepared to navigate the chaotic but fun world of startups.\n\n\n\nAbout Startup Weekend: Startup Weekend is a global grassroots movement of active community leaders and entrepreneurs who are learning the basics of founding startups and launching successful ventures. Startup Weekend organizers and facilitators can be found in hundreds of cities around the world. From Mongolia to South Africa to Canada to Brazil\, people around the globe come together for 54 hour workshops to pitch ideas\, form teams\, and start companies to change their lives as well as those around them. \nAbout the Research: The Leaky Tech Pipeline framework illuminates how bias and barriers affect each step along the pathway to becoming a software engineer\, tech employee\, or tech founder. Barriers and biases affect the outcomes at each stage\, and result in the cumulative disparities seen in the tech industry. The framework takes into account education\, demographic\, and industry data and incorporates social science research on bias\, inequity\, and disparities. The pipeline itself consists of multiple broad stages (e.g.\, K-12 education\, college\, career entry\, career advancement) and describes disparities in tech as a complex and systemic problem.\n\nRefund Policy:  No refunds will be granted within 7 days of the event if food and drink have already been ordered. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. \nTerms of Participation Agreement: It is our job to provide you with an incredible networking and learning opportunity. Our intention is that you meet some amazing people that you might actually start a company with\, build relationships with coaches\, and learn from your peers. The event is intended to be a collaborative forum for sharing\, learning\, building\, and having fun. As such\, by registering as a participant\, you acknowledge that any ideas shared by you or anyone else over the course of the event are contributions to the overall experience and community. If you as a participant are worried about someone stealing your ideas\, please reconsider your participation in the event itself or simply refrain from sharing specifics about your idea. \nAs a member of your startup community\, you agree to to be inclusive of any and all people and their ideas. You agree to act professionally\, treat everyone with respect\, and treat the event facilities with proper care. You agree that you are responsible for any accidents or damages that you cause. You also agree to not hold Startup Weekend\, your local volunteer team\, or any of the event supporters liable for any loss\, damage\, injury\, or any other unforeseeable incident. \nBy Participating at the event\, you grant Startup Weekend permission to capture photo/video of the event.

SUMMARY:Richmond Community Foundation 6th Annual Northern California Summit on Children and Youth
DESCRIPTION:The Richmond Community Foundation and the members of the 2015 Summit Steering Committee are pleased to bring the 6th Annual Northern California Summit on Children and Youth to the Richmond Civic Center again this year. The summit is scheduled for April 30\, 2015 and the theme for this year’s event is Bridging the STEM Diversity Gap – Building the Next Generation Workforce. \nLack of diversity in the Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Math (STEM) fields received national attention when the largest technology companies in the country released their diversity numbers.  Across the board\, African Americans and Latinos made up barely 2% of the workforce.  And although women make up more than 50% of college graduates\, they represent less than 30% of those working in STEM fields.  We need to ensure that careers in STEM fields are available to all Californians and build pathways that provide opportunities for young women and young men of color. \nThe day will be comprised of dynamic speakers and presentations that explore academic\, vocational\, training\, mentoring and employment programs targeting underserved youth and focusing on STEM\, and also evaluate career opportunities for women as well as boys and men of color.  The goal is to demonstrate successful STEM pathways and encourage more organizations to replicate or scale them up for West Contra County stakeholders. \nThis convening will attract educators\, community organizations\, community leaders\, local government and elected officials\, businesses\, and area foundations from throughout Northern California to share innovative approaches\, research-driven models\, and best practices for supporting children and youth.

SUMMARY:SXSW Interactive -  Beyond the Diversity Data: Strategies that Work
DESCRIPTION:In 2014\, the world’s leading tech companies released their workforce employment data for the first time\, revealing just how vastly underrepresented people of color and women are in the sector.

SUMMARY:SXSW Interactive - How Not to Hire and Retain Employees of Colors
DESCRIPTION:It’s time for some real talk in ethnic diversity. Members of this panel will discuss awkward moments and racial microaggressions. 2014 saw the release of diversity numbers from tech companies big and small and the shared theme was that there’s a lot of work to be done to equalize the workforce. At the time the numbers were released\, Google\, Twitter\, Facebook\, LinkedIn\, Pinterest\, and Yahoo are all under 5% Latino and under 2% Black. \nIn this discussion\, Engineers and VCs from several prominent tech companies will discuss the unsuccessful approaches that have been taken and common pitfalls. They will delve into what’s being done to create more inclusive and diverse companies through reaching people earlier in the pipeline and investing in retention. Let’s push for companies that look like our nation. #moreofus

SUMMARY:Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing Conference
DESCRIPTION:The goal of the Tapia Conferences is to bring together undergraduate and graduate students\, faculty\, researchers\, and professionals in computing from all backgrounds and ethnicities to: \n\nCelebrate the diversity that exists in computing;\nConnect with others with common backgrounds\, ethnicities\, disabilities\, and gender so as to create communities that extend beyond the conference;\nObtain advice from and make contacts with computing leaders in academia and industry;\nBe inspired by great presentations and conversations with leaders with common backgrounds.\n\nThis year’s conference theme is Diversity at Scale as the Tapia Conference celebrates efforts to move diversity in all aspects of computing beyond conversation and study into full practice and implementation. As a community\, we recognize that we must scale our diversity efforts to fully utilize computing to address the larger problems faced by today’s society.
