To be honest\, it feels like we are living in both the best of times and the worst of times. So this year’s theme may at first glance appear to be a contradiction: Save the Internet | The Internet Saves. \nWhether you want to be part of the community fighting to “Save the Internet” or be part of the community who believe “The Internet Saves”\, the people\, the organizations\, the issues\, the questions\, and the potential solutions will all be gathered on June 5 and 6 in New York. Read our blog post announcing the theme to learn more. \n\n\n\nWhat Is PDF?\n\n\n\nPersonal Democracy Forum is the definitive event in the world of technology and politics. PDF brings together a thousand top opinion makers\, political practitioners\, technologists\, and journalists from across the ideological spectrum for two days to network\, exchange ideas\, and explore how technology and wired citizens are changing politics\, governance\, and civil society.

SUMMARY:PARISOMA [X]
DESCRIPTION:Who are you missing in your recruitment?: Diverse talent is out there you just have to know where to look\n\nWe often hear that diversity is a problem in tech and that big companies should do better at hiring people from different backgrounds and we all rally and say ‘Yes\, Google and Apple and Facebook should do better at that’. But what about the little guy? They need more talent and want to reach a large customer base too\, right? So why not improve hiring in a way that reflects the changing demographics—42% of the US will be Black and Latino/a by 2040?\n\nWell\, that’s just too hard to think about as a startup\, right? As a startup founder just scrapping by\, looking for your next funder\, the last thing you want on your plate is the daunting task of hiring software engineers.\n\nSo your options are:\n\n1. Do the work yourself and worry about hiring until after ‘this one big project is done’.\n2. Send an email (or Facebook) blast to your friends and you hire one of them.\n3. Post your job description on a listserv and cross your fingers.\n4. Attend this class and find out what hides behind door number 4.\n\nIn this class we will explore what steps you can take to hit two bottom lines: 1. hiring talented coders and 2. creating a team filled with people from a variety of backgrounds.\n\nThis class blow your mind with a new perspective on how small businesses can—with just as much effort as #1\, #2 and #3 above—increase diversity on their team now and not wait until they become the ‘Google\, Apple\, & Facebook’s of the world.\n
