You may be tempted to think that organizing diverse conferences is difficult and requires a lot of effort or resources. Especially for a first-time organizer, the prospect of organizing a diverse and inclusive event may be daunting. You may think that it requires a lot of effort or financial resources. You may wonder if there is a checklist? Where do I even begin? In this talk, Kasia will discuss things that every organizer can do to produce a diverse and inclusive event; highlighting a number of high impact and low effort things that can be done.
