In celebration of International Women's Day (IWD), join this fireside chat to hear from AWS customer executives from Boeing, Cornerstone, Laserfiche, and MapBox. In alignment with this year’s IWD theme to #EmbraceEquity, we will discuss closing the gender gap for women and explore ways to keep DE&I top of mind when budgets are constrained and companies are scaling back due to economic conditions.
International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women's equality. Imagine a gender equal world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination, a world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive, where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women's equality. Collectively we can all #EmbraceEquity, celebrate women's achievements, raise awareness about discrimination, and take action to drive gender parity. IWD belongs to everyone, everywhere.
